Cooper will make his debut in the R&G Moto4 British Cup this season, whilst Wilkinson will also be preparing for his first year in the 1pMobile Junior Sportbike National Championship. The team have a double rider attack in the Pirelli British Sportbike Championship with both riders ready for the challenge of the new season.
Cooper said: “For the 2026 R&G Moto4 British Cup I am feeling confident and prepared for the season. All the pre-season testing that has taken place has given me confidence and feeling for the bike, working on tyre setup, suspension and more with the team and mechanics, so overall I am feeling ready for the season and ready to take on any challenges that come my way in the challenging season ahead.”
Weston said: “I’m really looking forward to the 2026 season riding under the NW Racing flag. I feel the best I ever have with myself and the bike going into this year and I’m hoping to turn that into some good races and results.”
Dance said: “I am feeling optimistic about the 2026 season and what it has to offer. I am feeling confident knowing my abilities, and ready to show what I am capable of, so let’s see what happens.”
Wilkinson said: “I’m really excited for the 2026 season to get back in orange with the NW Racing team and see what the season brings. After training harder than ever I can’t wait to get going and hopefully end the season with some podiums and maybe top five in the championship, but no matter what I won’t stop pushing and having fun.”
Nick Weston Team owner commented: “We are very excited to expand our team fully into the British paddock for the 2026 season and have some really exciting riders in three different classes. It will definitely be a busy year, but one we are very much looking forward to.”
