The sponsorship deal aims to promote Devitt’s motorcycle insurance offering as well as their thriving motorcycle community site Keep Britain Biking, which brings together members of the motorcycle community to share their own stories, tips, reviews and routes.

 

The National Superstock 600 Championship is designed to identify new riding talent and provide a progression route to higher classes of racing and is therefore a perfect class for Jordan. Aged just 16, Jordan started racing in 2010 in the Superteen class which has been the breeding ground for world champions including Casey Stoner and Cal Crutchlow. After finishing as Championship runner-up in and collecting a number of class wins, Jordan progressed in 2012 to the MiniTwin class where he placed 3rd in the Junior class and set a new national lap record at Oulton Park.

Nigel Meyer, Distribution Director for Devitt stated: “We’re proud to announce our sponsorship of such a promising young motorcycle racing talent as Jordan Gilbert.
