A statement last week confirmed that TAS Racing had severed its ties with Suzuki after a successful 14-year association, paving the way for official confirmation ܫof the new BMW collaboration.

Team managerও Philip Neill said: "It really is a great honour for TAS Racing to be chosen by BMW to spearhead their racing efforts in 2015, and everyone involved has been very supportive in helping us put the correct package together.

"Although our agreement is with BMW in the UK, the support we have received from BMW in Germany is already very encouraging. We will have full support fro꧑m the factory both technically and personnel wise next season to help us achieve our goals.

"We put a lot of thought into our rider line-up fo🃏r 2015 and as always the goal is to win races both in British champ🀅ionship and also at international level on the roads," he added.

"We fully expect to be championship contenders in British Superbik🦹e and the National Superstock class next season racing BMW's S1000-RR, and on the roads I'🤪ve every confidence that William and Guy will also benefit from riding top class Tyco BMW machinery."

Lee Nicholls, BMW Motorrad Markꦑeting and PR Manager, said: "It is with great pleasure that we can finally announce BMW Mo🌄torrad's support of the TAS Racing team for the 2015 British Superbike and road racing season.

"In 2014, BMW Motorrad had its most successful season of racing ever in the UK, which has enabled us to increase our support to both the British Superbike and road racing paddocks for 2015. The TAS Racing team will spearheꦑad our assault on track, and on the roads, and will receive the full technical support from our BMW Motorrad Motorsports team in Munich within the framework of the BMW Customer Racing Strategy," he added.

"As a company we are very much looking forward to working with Philip and his team and we are confident that together with the all-new S1000-RR we will challenge for podiums and wins across the UK 𝕴and Ireland next year."
