Louis Valleley will have a full season in the British Superbike Championship after being recruited through NP Motorcycles for the 2024 season.
The youngster made his BSB debut with the Rapid CDH Racing team midway through the 2023 season, and Valleley transitioned from Junior Superstock elegance to the team’s Kawasaki ZX-10RR.
Securing a best finish of tenth in the wet at Donington Park, Valleley has now been rewarded with a deal to contest the full season with NP Motorcycles to ride its Kawasaki this year.
“I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to compete in the Superbike class for the full season in 2024 with NP Racing.
“Last year I competed in five Superbikes and had an amazing time. I’ve learned a lot on those occasions, and now that I’ve tried the Superbikes, I’m very motivated to move on to last year and have a wonderful 2024 season.
“I’m looking forward to racing with Neil as he is indeed committed to the game and puts a lot of time and effort into ensuring 2024 is as productive as possible. I can’t wait to get it to Spain to start going around a few times and start the process, so we can be up and running from the first round.
Neil Pearson added: “We are excited to welcome Louis to our team in BSB. We have worked hard behind the scenes throughout 2023 to make 2024 a promising and successful season and we are looking forward to the year ahead.
“The team is being built around Louis to give him the tools and confidence to fight for some point-scoring finishes in his first full season in the Superbike class. We are excited to start working together in testing to prepare for the opening round at Navarra.”
