TAS Racing announces new sponsor for 2020 British Superbike Championship

Taylor Mackenzie and Bradley Ray will lead the charge for the Moneymore-based team in 2020 for BMW Motorrad’s official BSB representatives on S1000RR machinery.

Team principal Philip Neill said: “ We are understandably delighted to announce our new partnership with SYNETIQ, especially as this will be their first experience as a sponsor in motorcycle racing.

“The British Superbike Championship provides a great platform for brand exposure and we look forward to entering this new chapter together as SYNETIQ BMW. 2020 marks a significant landmark for TAS Racing – being our 20th anniversary year and together with two dynamic young riders, we hope to mark the occasion with some success.”

Richard Martin, Managing Director, SYNETIQ, added: “We’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with TAS Racing. Many of our employees are huge motorbike racing fans, myself included, so this is a particularly proud moment for all of us.

“We’re looking forward to following the team’s campaign this season and wish them the absolute best of luck.”

Tyco previously sponsored the Ulster team over the past eight years.

TAS Racing has yet to make any announcement over whether or not they will run a rider at the international road races this season, although 16-time TT winner Ian Hutchinson has been linked with a return to the squad.
