‘ROKiTMAN RETURNS’

2018 Bennetts British Superbike Champion Leon Haslam has launched his campaign to add to his title count by launching the ROKiT BMW Motorrad Team at Donington Park in advance of this weekend's R&G Official Test.

Haslam will ride the BMW M1000 RR for the newly created team during the 2023 season, with title sponsorship from ROKiT and a multi-year arrangement for title sponsorship.

The new partnership will mark the return of "The Pocket Rocket" to BMW Motorrad Motorsport, where he last competed in the World Championship during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Haslam stated, "I am ecstatic to finally be able to put all of this together, as it has been a tough few weeks trying to get everything across the finish line. This is a dream come true, and I would want to thank ROKiT, Completely Motorbikes, and all of our sponsors for making it happen. Physically, I've had a fantastic winter, so I'm ready for this new challenge in British Superbikes on the BMW M 1000 RR."

ROKiT co-founder Jonathan Kendrick stated, "We are thrilled to be the Title Sponsor of the BMW Motorrad British Superbike Team and to welcome the Pocket Rocket to the ROKiT family. This sponsorship expands and strengthens our current cooperation with BMW in the World Superbike Championship, therefore we are looking forward to a very exciting and fruitful season."
