GS Yuasa Battery Sales are gearing up to compete at the pinnacle of two-wheeled motorsport with the launch of the Yuasa-backed 2020 VisionTrack Ducati. The Paul Bird Motorsport operated bikes were unveiled in a ceremony at the world-famous The View from The Shard in London.

The striking new red, white and blue livery features the Yuasa logo on the bike’s belly pan and fairing and also on the rider’s leathers. The factory-supported Ducati Panigale V4 R will compete in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship with riders Josh Brookes and his experienced teammate Christian Iddon.

An ultra-successful season in 2019 saw the team win their seventh BSB title with rookie Scott Redding being crowned champion just five points ahead of Brookes. Between the two of them the pair won 21 of the 27 races to end up 1-2 in the standings.

James Hylton, Managing Director of GS Yuasa Battery Sales said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be joining Paul Bird Motorsport as a key sponsor of VisionTrack Ducati in the British Superbike Championship 2020. GS Yuasa have a long and proud history of producing motorcycle batteries for all the world’s top bike manufacturers, including Ducati, so we are delighted to begin a new motorsport partnership with our Yuasa brand.”

Paul Bird, Team Owner: “I’m absolutely thrilled that a leading global company such as GS Yuasa are joining PBM for the 2020 season. It’s vitally important to have the correct commercial partners on board as we bid to retain our hard-earned BSB title and with Yuasa joining VisionTrack and all our other partners, we have a fantastic portfolio.”

The 12 round Bennetts BSB series commences at Silverstone on April 10/12th.
