Tommy Bridewell, brother of Ollie, who died tragically at Mallory Park last year, will be riding his brother’s Team NB Suzuki GSXR1000.
“I’m delighted that our application has been successful and this will be a real test for us which I’m looking forward to.
It’s been a tough year all round but to round it off with some World Championship points would be awesome and that’s what I’m aiming to do.
Because this is surplus to our plans, both my dad and I are financing it to a greater extent but it’s too good an opportunity to miss and it’s good to see Old Ginger’s bike finally getting used where it should be!”The 20-year-old, has been racing in the Italian Superbike Championship and in the Suzuki GSX-R 750 European Cup this year and also raced as a wild card in the 125cc World Championship at the British Grand Prix.
