The German based team has years of experience in road racing scene and with their direct support from BMW Motorrad, expectations are high for the 2014 campaign.

“Like most racers around the world, it has always been a dream of mine to not only race the TT but also be aligned with such a world class team on factory prepped machinery. I can’t wait for our first test in Europe next month! If all of this wasn’t enough, I'm really fortunate to have Simon Andrews as a teammate,” said Kruger.

Kruger’s race season will also include the Suzuka 8 Hour Endurance race in Japan this July with a Japanese team and the Superbike Championship in China, which kicks off March 21-23 in Zhuhai, China. “I really need to thank Rico Penzkofer and the entire Penz13 .com BMW Racing Team for making this opportunity happen, allowing me this chance of a lifetime,” he said.
