Revitalised line-up for Team Suzuki Swift

Team manager Jonathan Wright agrees the deal with Pascal Leuret. The 2008 season will see a revitalised line-up for Team Suzuki Swift as they announce the signing of headline acts - Pascal Leuret, Brad Anderson and up-and-coming young-gun Jake Nicholls.

The team, that exploded onto the scene in 2007, run by the renowned Banks family, will return stronger in 2008 with factory backing for Leuret in the World and British MX2 class, and for the first time an entry into MX1 with Brad Anderson.

Talking about the new line-up, Justin Banks commented, "I'm delighted to be able to announce our '08 line-up. Pascal is a solid performer and his podium in Portugal this year was just a glimpse of things to come. Brad on the other hand will launch us into MX1 with the potential to go for race wins from the outset on the new RM-Z450".

Rounding-up the new signings is seventeen year-old Jake Nicholls, who despite being new to the team brings a season worth of experience with him on the RM-Z250. Jake joins remaining team rider Elliott Banks Brown who will also contest the MX2 class.

Justin Banks continued, "I truly believe we have a fantastic mix of experience, talent and youthful enthusiasm, giving us a very real chance of championship glory next season. With the backing of Suzuki GB's car and motorcycle divisions once more, we have a team that's stronger than ever for the new season".

The new team line-up will debut at the Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh on the 8th December, with the bikes on display throughout the duration of the show.
