Motul and Pirelli will remain the official presenting partners of the 2016 Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) after Motorcycling Australia (MA) secured the deal with Link International.

As leading brands, Motul Oils and Pirelli Tyres have a long history in supporting many aspects of motorcycle sport and partner with ASBK once again in 2016, solidifying the continuing strength of Australia’s premier road racing championship.

With Link International bringing more than 30 years of experience importing high-end quality products, Link International’s general manager Brenden Stoeckert said that Motul and Pirelli are the perfect fit as presenting partners for this year’s ASBK series.

“Here at Link International, it was an easy choice to continue to support the ASBK in 2016,” Stoeckert said. “The ASBK is a strong program for sponsors and we are thrilled to be a part of the championship in 2016.

“It was exciting to see the development of the series throughout last year and it’s an honour to once again have Motul and Pirelli as presenting partners for the series in 2016. Motul and Pirelli are both highly advanced, internationally recognised products, and we believe in joining forces with the best in the business, so the ASBK was the clear choice.”

Motorcycling Australia CEO David Cottee also shared his enthusiasm in having Motul and Pirelli on board as presenting partners for the 2016 ASBK: “It’s fantastic to have such quality brands supporting the series again.

“It’s especially important that we have two brands who support many motorcycle disciplines and who put into the sport the research and technology to create great products. We are thrilled for another great year full of competitive racing and it’s exciting to lead into Round 1 of the ASBK series for 2016, with the support of our presenting partners.”
