Milwaukee Yamaha’s Tommy Bridewell will make his debut in the prestigious Suzuka Eight-Hour race this year, joining Kats Nakasuga and MCE British Superbike team-mate Josh Brookes in the Monster YART squad.

Brookes celebrated a podium finish last season and Nakasuga has been a regular contender at the annual event but Bridewell is looking forward to joining the pair to race at Suzuka for the first time.


Bridewell said:

"I’m really looking forward to it. I have been able to up my training regime in recent months so I am hoping I should be able to cope with the heat, and spending long stints on the bike, well enough. It will be a learning year for me so I am not expecting there to be a lot of pressure on me. I just want to go out there and enjoy the experience. There will be different tyres to learn but I have already been doing my homework on the track. It should be good fun.”
