Superbike Advocates Racing confirms Bridewell for the 2027 WorldSBK season

Superbike Advocates Racing is pleased to announce that Tommy Bridewell will continue with the team for the 2027 FIM Superbike World Championship season, extending a partnership that has already shown significant promise in the team's debut campaign at world level.

Following a series of increasingly competitive performances throughout the 2026 season, the Anglo-Australian squad and the British rider have reached an agreement that will see Bridewell remain aboard the team's Ducati Panigale V4 R for another year.

Both rider and team entered the 2026 championship as WorldSBK rookies, facing the challenge of learning new circuits, adapting to the demands of the series, and building a competitive package from the ground up. Despite their newcomer status, Superbike Advocates Racing has established itself as one of the most exciting new teams on the grid, making consistent progress from round to round and steadily closing the gap to the championship's established frontrunners.

Bridewell has played a key role in that development. Combining his vast experience with a determined and professional approach, the 38-year-old British rider has helped drive the team's progress while delivering increasingly strong results. Regularly challenging inside the top ten against some of the most experienced riders in the paddock, Tommy has scored championship points in eleven of the last fifteen races, with a best finish of fifth in Race 1 at both Aragón and Donington Park.

Tommy’s commitment, positive attitude and relentless work ethic quickly earned the trust and respect of everyone within the newly formed Superbike Advocates Racing structure, making the decision to continue together into 2027 a natural one.

With their future now secured, Bridewell and the entire Superbike Advocates Racing team can turn their full attention to the remainder of the 2026 campaign, aiming to continue their upward trajectory, fight for more top five finishes and lay an even stronger foundation ahead of next season.

“I want to thank Lee and the team for this amazing opportunity. I think we've had a fantastic debut season in WorldSBK and I'm really looking forward to building on this year’s success in 2027. To have the opportunity to continue and to keep growing with such a great team is a dream come true and carrying that continuity into 2027 will be key, I think. There are a few changes on the horizon in WorldSBK in terms of tyres and things, so there’s that to consider, but the whole team has its sights set on the same goal: to do the very best we can. So, exciting times ahead for sure! The first goal is of course to round out the 2026 season as strong as we can. Then I think we’ll have maybe one day off after we cross the line at Jerez before work begins in preparation for 2027 – I can't wait to get going.”

“Tommy has been a huge part of our progress in our first WorldSBK season, and continuing together into 2027 was an easy decision. We’ve always said that we started this team as a family, and we will continue this journey as a family. We started from scratch with the ambition of fighting at the front, and while we’ve made incredible progress, there is still much more to come. I’m proud to have Tommy continuing this journey with us, and we’re excited for what 2027 will bring.”
