Motorcycling Australia partners with Motul and Pirelli
Motorcycling Australia (MA) is pleased to announce a partnership with MOTUL and Pirelli for the Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK).
The 2015 Australian Superbike Championship aims to deliver a professional and well profiled five-round championship. The first round was witnessed by more than 20,000 fans and was won by MOTUL-sponsored Factory Honda rider Troy Herfoss on Pirelli tyres.
Link International General Manager Brendan Stoeckert said he was encouraged by the changes being implemented by Motorcycling Australia.
“Motorcycling Australia is being extremely active in rebuilding the Australian Superbike Championship,” Stoeckert said.
“We have always been involved and want to be a part of the new direction”.
The Australian Superbike Championship has been integral in the international careers of Mick Doohan, Mathew Mladin, Troy Corser and Troy Bayliss. It has proved to be a terrific platform to build international careers and championships – something Motorcycling Australia is very proud of.
Motorcycling Australia’s CEO Dale Gilson said the continued support from MOTUL and Pirelli was much appreciated.
“Link International are major contributors to motorcycle racing in Australia. They back all disciplines and are an important asset for motorcycle competition under Motorcycling Australia,” Gilson said.
“We welcome them as the present sponsor of Australia’s premier FIM sanctioned Superbike Championship.”
