Liam Delves will return to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship for a second season in 2023 after re-signing for the Rapid CDH Racing Kawasaki team.
The 22-year-old from Ashby-de-la-Zouch made his debut in the premier class this season, making the leap up from the Pirelli National Junior Superstock Championship where he had been a podium finisher.
Delves narrowly missed out on the points in his first season of Bennetts BSB with a best result of a pair of 16th place finishes at Snetterton, which he is now ready to build on in his second season with the team.
Delves said: “I'm excited to be signing for a second season with the Rapid CDH Racing squad. I'm really looking forward to Spanish testing and can't wait to start next year with a season under my belt. I just want to say a massive thank you to my personal sponsors and all the people that believe in me.”
Team Owner Dean Hipwell commented: “We are pleased to announce the re-signing of Liam for the 2023 season. Liam made the huge step from Superstock 600s into the Superbike class for 2022 and set some good lap times throughout the year.
“With a season completed, we know the areas of improvement, and we'll both be working on those during winter period in preparation for testing. Thank you to all our team partners who continue to work with us, their support is fantastic and we couldn't do it without them.”
