BSB: Asher Durham signs for G&S Racing

Asher Durham has signed for G&S Racing in the Junior Superstock Championship for the 2023 season.

Durham will continue to race in the Junior Superstock Championship, which he has raced in for multiple years. The 22-year-old will spend his fourth consecutive year in the class, first signing in 2020.

He will race for the Nottinghamshire-based G&S Racing which has a great relationship with Kawasaki. The team will use a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, and have great success with the bike, winning the first race for the 636 model.

He would have a great 2022 season, finishing eighth in the Junior Superstock Championship standings. Durham would take two podiums throughout the year, with Max Cook taking the 2022 title.

Before racing in the Junior Superstock class, Durham would ride in the British Motostar Championship. His best season would come in 2019, where the experienced rider would finish third in the standings. He would take four race wins throughout the year, with a total of seven podiums in his season.

Durham said: “For this year, I’m really excited to join G&S Racing and grateful for the opportunity. We are both ambitious about winning, and I’m positive we can put a great season together. Another year on a Kawasaki and with Team Green is also a great thing that I’m really happy and proud about!”

G&S Racing Manager, Tom Fisher commented: “Myself and the team are extremely pleased to have Asher join us for 2023. Asher has proved in the past that he is capable of running at the front with several podium finishes, so we are hopeful of a successful season together. Backed once again by Kawasaki for the 14th year, we are proud to continue our relationship and hopefully put on a great show.”

Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki UK, Ross Burridge concluded: “Kawasaki UK has worked with G&S Racing for many years now and we are excited about the combination of their passion for racing and Asher’s talent this season.

“With full focus on the job at hand, there is no reason why they cannot be on the podium at round one and aim for title honours. The season can’t start quick enough!”
