| Smiths Race team: Triumph backing |
Aboard 675R Daytonas, Smiths took first and third spots in the 2012 British Supersport Championship thanks to Australian riders Glen Richards and Billy McConnell. Defending champion Richards has struggled with injury this season in the Motorpoint-sponsored series but McConnell was lying in third with Richards seventh after the recent penultimate round at Silverstone. For 2014, the team will continue with two riders in British Supersport, as well as competing in selected World Supersport rounds.
Triumph Motorcycles UK and Ireland general manager Rick Cawley commented: “We’re delighted to be working with Smiths again next season. We have a great relationship with the team and very much value the passion and commitment they bring to Triumph’s race programme. They have been instrumental in taking the 675R from an award-winning road bike to a highly competitive race machine and we’re looking forward to next season with relish.”
