R&G 2018 teams…Moto Rapido!
As the majority of the 2018 British Superbike field heads to the warmer climate of Spain for testing, we continue our countdown to the start of the season by turning the spotlight on the next of our teams; Moto Rapido Ducati.
Based out of their Hampshire dealership (just up the road from our own HQ!), Moto Rapido have been competing in the blue riband Superbike class since 2011, when they stepped up to compete in the EVO category, and we’ve been with them since the start of the 2016 season.
Having claimed a number of podium finishes in recent seasons, the team will once again be returning to the grid with the Ducati Panigale - however this year will see a new face aboard as they welcome Taylor Mackenzie to the fold. We’ll be kitting the Ducati out with our Race Series Engine Case Covers and Titanium Radiator Guards. Continuing to push the stars of tomorrow, the team will again be fielding future star Thomas Strudwick in the Hel Performance British Motostar Championship. Alongside personally sponsoring Thomas, we’ll be protecting his Moto3 machine with our Aero Crash Protectors, Moulded Lever Guard, Titanium Radiator Guard, Engine Case Covers, Clutch Reservoir Protector and Cotton Reels…he’ll be scraping our Aero Knee Sliders throughout the season too!
With 2018 looking like the final season of the current Panigale, we’ve already begun producing a range of crash protection for the incoming Panigale V4 – check out what we’ve already launched here
