Suzuki Swift expands for second season

The outfit, which made its debut in 2007, will return with factory backing for new signing Pascal Leuret in the World and British MX2 championships, and for the first time an entry into the premier MX1 class with fellow team newcomer Brad Anderson.

"I'm delighted to be able to announce our '08 line-up. Pascal is a solid performer and his podium in Portugal this year was just a glimpse of things to come. Brad on the other hand will launch us into MX1 with the potential to go for race wins from the outset on the new RM-Z450," said team principal Justin Banks.

The team's third new signing is 17-year-old Jake Nicholls, while the line-up is completed by the retained Elliott Banks Brown, who last year rode alongside former AMA star Sean Hamblin. Hamblin's 2008 plans are still to be announced.

"I truly believe we have a fantastic mix of experience, talent and youthful enthusiasm, giving us a very real chance of championship glory next season," added Banks. "With the backing of Suzuki GB's car and motorcycle divisions once more, we have a team that's stronger than ever for the new season."
