Alastair Seeley joins SYNETIQ BMW for 2023 British Superstock 1000 bid

The Carrickfergus man previously won the Superstock 1000 title and British Supersport championship with the Moneymore-based TAS Racing squad, and claimed a raft of victories at the North West 200.

Seeley, who has raced in the Ulster Superbike Championship over the past two seasons – winning the Superbike and Supersport titles back-to-back on the IFS Yamaha machines – will ride the new M1000RR machine in the Superstock series.

“It’s a dream come true for me to back in the British Superbike paddock and especially with TAS Racing,” said Seeley.

“I have so many great memories with the team. We’ve had a lot of success together and to get the chance to ride the new BMW M RR in SYNETIQ BMW colours has me really buzzing.

“I’ve kept myself fit, as it’s a way of life now, and I won a few titles last season on the Irish scene, then proved I still have it at international level with a hat-trick at the NW200, so this opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Seeley is also expected to ride for the Ulster team at the North West 200 in May, where he holds the all-time record of 27 victories.

He added: “The goal is to win British Superstock races for sure this season and have a good go at the championship.

"I’d like to personally thank Philip and Hector Neill for the opportunity and a special mention to Graeme Hanna and William McCausland for supporting the venture.”
