Tyco BMW has welcomed Dan Kneen back to TAS Racing aboard the BMW S1000RR for 2018. At the Ulster GP in 2017, he secured two podium finishes and the fastest lap ever recorded on BMW Motorrad machinery.
Philip Neill – Team manager said: “We enjoy the challenge of helping riders achieve their full potential and with Dan we are excited about the next chapter in the TAS Racing story. At this year’s UGP we witnessed a glimpse of Dan’s undoubtable talent, and that was with only one afternoon testing the Tyco BMW. That one opportunity was enough however, to confirm that Dan will fit in perfectly at TAS Racing; and if we add in his experience riding the BMW S1000RR – we are all looking forward to seeing what he can achieve with a full testing programme on TAS Racing prepared Tyco BMW’s in 2018. That full test and race programme will be confirmed in the New Year.”
And Dan, aged 30, picturrd, said: “I realised that when the chance of a short term ride with the Tyco BMW team came up last season I had to take it with both hands as it’s not every day you get the chance to work with such a well-run, manufacturer-backed team. I’m going to be really proud to represent the team on my home course and I’m going to give it everything to reward the faith that Philip and Hector have shown in me.”
