Manxman Dan Kneen has signed to ride for the Millsport team in 2015 who have got direct backing from Suzuki – further pointing towards a move to BMW for TAS Racing.

The Irish and Ulster Road Racing Superbike champion will do all three International Road Races for the squad as well as some Irish Nationals and the Adelaide Masters Superbike series.

“Once I found out Millsport were going to have a direct Suzuki connection, I knew it would be the right move for me. I’m also looking forward to racing in the Adelaide Masters’ Series on a Millsport Suzuki, as I enjoy the circuits as much as the roads and it will give me valuable track time on the team’s new bikes,” said Kneen.

“I just want to go that bit faster than this season and hopefully that will be enough to get me the results I’d like on the Millsport Suzukis.”
