Going toe to toe with the likes of Michael Rutter, Dan Kneen, Alex Polita, Didier Grams, Lee Johnston and Derek Sheils at iconic courses such as Imatranajo and Frohburg, the Belgian has showcased on multiple occasions that he is more than worthy of being titled as a ‘World Class’ roads exponent.
Although the reigning champion won’t be on the start line in the Netherlands, at Hengelo in May, another truly first class IRRC Superbike field is guaranteed for this season, which will include Penz 13 BMW joining the championship battle with Marek Cerveny, Danny Webb and Jamie Coward.
