Tom Ward will return in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship for his home round of the season at Brands Hatch, with long-time sponsor Bradbury Racing and ADSS Kawasaki.
The 26-year-old rider from Canterbury is making a return to the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 grid, the class where he finished on the podium for the 2019 season finale at the legendary Kent circuit.
Ward has had a rollercoaster season, having originally signed up to ride in Superstock for the MSS Performance Kawasaki team, which had to pull out of the series, before piloting a Superbike machine for several rounds. After an amicable split, he was offered a ‘wildcard’ on the Bradbury Racing Kawasaki ZX-10RR.
Ward said: “I'm really looking forward to my home round at the Brands GP circuit and it would be great to repeat last year’s podium success. It’s a shame not to be riding a Superbike but I am positive that the future will hold more opportunities for me to show my capabilities on one.
“This weekend it will be mega riding the Ninja ZX10-RR of my friend and sponsor Dave Bradbury. Chris Platt from ADSS has kindly agreed to help too, so I can’t thank them and all my other sponsors enough!”
