British Superbikes 2023 is here!

This Easter weekend will see round 1 of the 2023 Bennetts British Superbike Championship with Christian and his Moto Rapido Ducati team ready to face the short Silverstone circuit and get their championship challenge underway.
As with the previous two seasons, the championship will comprise of 11 rounds with 3 races per round. The conventional 'showdown' system has been scrapped but the points awarded per race have been slightly modified as the 28 strong field compete to be crowned Champion.

With Christian now back aboard a Ducati under the Oxford Products Moto Rapido Racing banner, expectations are high and both Christian and the team have been busy preparing and testing ready for the season to begin.

The Oxford Products Moto Rapido team have put in a lot of work through the off season working on electronics to make the Ducati an easier ride through the demanding circuits that BSB has to offer.

Those developments were put to test as Iddon and the team headed to Spain and later to Silverstone and Donington to fine tune the bike and to get Christian back acquainted to the Ducati.
Christian commented;

“Signing for the Oxford Products Moto Rapido team has been a huge boost and I am fully aware of this great opportunity I have. The team has fought for the championship over the last few years and I hope we can continue in that way. I've have great memories with Ducati with 24 podiums with the brand”

“Testing has been good although the weather has not been kind for the UK part of testing. I don't think I've ever started a season with such little riding under my belt but almost all of my competition is in the same situation so it will make for an exciting first few rounds.”

"I've loved working with the team so far and their technical ability is without question. Hopefully I can find my feeling I want with the bike early on and we are able to fight for podiums and wins early in the year"

"I just want to thank all my personal sponsors for their support this season"
