Lincolnshire rider Peter Hickman will remain with the RAF Reserves team for this year’s MCE British Superbike Championship and roads season but will have a BMW S1000RR under him as the squad have chosen to move away from Honda for 2015.

Lee Hardy’s team brought Hickman back to BSB towards the middle of last season and he was instantly pushing for top ten finishes before securing a first MCE BSB race win for both himself and the team at his home round of Cadwell Park in August.

Hickman will run under RAF Reserves colours in BSB but switch to Briggs Equipement title sponsorship for the roads with a new livery. The team continue to be sponsored by Mother Hubbards fish and chipperies.

“I am really happy to stay with the RAF Reserves team for a second consecutive season, to have that consistency is something I haven’t really had in the past. The team are changing manufacturers for this season, I am behind the move to BMW and I am really excited,” said Hickman.

“I hope that we can push forward this season; I was able to break into the top 10 on the BMW in 2012, so I am feeling really positive about this move.

“My aim is definitely to be in the Showdown and that is something that should be achievable. I had my first win at Cadwell Park last year so I want to be pushing for podiums again and build on my achievements last season. I really can’t wait to get started.”
