Fresh from announcing AJN Steelstock as its title sponsor for the 2025 season, FS-3 Racing and Kawasaki UK have announce Christian Iddon will join Max Cook for the forthcoming Bennetts British Superbike Championship season at Motorcycle Live.

The new look AJN Steelstock Kawasaki team was revealed on the Kawasaki stand at Motorcycle Live, as multiple Bennetts BSB race winner Iddon looks ahead to his tenth season in the Championship onboard the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR for the first time, alongside Cook, who returns for his third season with the team.

Iddon said: “I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the very impressive team workshop and been welcomed with open arms by the team and Kawasaki. After spending four of the last five years on another manufacturer’s bikes, I know there will be a bit of adaptation to make, but once I am able to get on the team’s ZX-10RR superbike, I plan to start making the changes necessary for me to get the best out of the bike.

“Kawasaki has achieved considerable success over the years in BSB, and my own expectations are very high, so I’m just excited for 2025 to hurry up so we can get down to business.’’

Cook said: “The 2024 season was a big learning curve for me, and there were many high points during the year, including achieving my first BSB pole position and podium finish. I know the areas for improvement to come from me in 2025 so I can become an established front-runner.

“A strong finish to the 2024 season has given me a big boost in confidence and shown me what the ZX-10RR is really capable of. I’m really looking forward to having a strong and consistent season, and thank you, AJN Steelstock Kawasaki, for giving me the opportunity." 

Nigel Snook, AJN Steelstock Kawasaki Team Owner, commented: “We are delighted to confirm that AJN Steelstock will be extending its support for the team, stepping up to be our title sponsor as we continue to represent Kawasaki in the series.

“We are confident that the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki superbikes will have a big impact on the championship. We have a strong rider line-up as established front-runner Christian Iddon joins us alongside Max Cook, our talented youngster.”

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK concluded: “We are excited to welcome Christian into the Team Green family for the 2025 season! We are confident that Christian, alongside Max will be a force to be reckoned with next season. The team have a lot of development planned over the winter and this rider line-up in combination with the Ninja ZX-10RR will surely give us the platform to fight at the front of the field.”
