Day continues cup chase

READY TO GO: Motorcycle racer Levi Day has announced he will again be competing in the Ducati TriOptions Cup in 2018 with his 2017 team, BPS Racing after a successful season where he finished third.

AFTER competing in his best season to date, road motorcycle racing star and former Mount Gambier competitor Levi Day has announced he will again be taking on the challenge of the Ducati TriOptions Cup in 2018 with his 2017 team, BPS Racing.

The Ducati TriOptions Cup is a class which runs the 959 Ducati Panigale.

Day started the 2017 season on the 899, before moving on to the 959.

After finishing third in the 2017 championship, Day said he looked forward to another year on the bike.

“Last season was a big positive and fills me with confidence to again race the awesome 959 Ducati Panigale in 2018,” he said.

“Our aim as a team will be to be fighting for the championship.”

Day said he believed last season was the first time he worked with a package on par with the remainder of the field.

“The Ducati TriOptions is very cost effective compared to the classes of Supersport, Superstock 1000, which has certainly helped obtain a budget to make us competitive,” he said.

Day thanked those around him for the continuous support throughout 2017.

“Mike and Maddie Green, who run the BPS Racing Team, were an amazing support system this year,” he said.

“I’m really looking forward to having the same team of mechanics and crew around me next year.

“It’s a hugely positive atmosphere and they support me a lotto help get the most out of my riding.”
