Jordan Szoke, seven time Canadian Superbike champion, has signed on to ride a BMW S1000 RR in the Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship for the 2012 season.
“I am really excited to represent BMW,” said the Brantford, Ontario native when asked about his new livery. “It feels good to represent a manufacturer that steps up to the plate and supports road racing like BMW has this year. Their efforts remind me of the Kawasaki of the 90’s. It’s awesome to see and great to be a part of.”
The radX/BMW Motorrad team scooped up the Superbike Championship with rider Brett McCormick last season with a 328 (McCormick) - 318 (Szoke) points lead.
“I look forward to coming back for my #1 plate this year,” Szoke said. “I hope I am able to keep it for BMW and represent them well.”
Szoke will once again manage and race for his own team this season, known as 'Waznie Racing Parts Canada BMW Motorrad'; a feat he was able to do in 2010 with a perfect Superbike season. He also was awarded the Inside Motorcycles 'Team of the Year' award for his accomplishments.
The Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship gets underway in June and ends will a doubleheader weekend at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (August 24-26) where the championships will be decided.
“I would really like to send out a personal thank you to our existing sponsors that stuck with us again this season,” mentions Szoke. “Without them this wouldn’t be possible.”
