AJN Steelstock FS-3 Kawasaki adds race winner to 2025 BSB line-up
Kawasaki UK-backed AJN Steelstock FS-3 Racing announces its 2025 BSB rider line-up of new arrival Christian Iddon and the retained Max Cook
FS-3 Racing has announced both its rider line-up and a new title sponsor for the 2025 British Superbike Championship season with Christian Iddon arriving to join Max Cook in representing the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki team.
One of the most experienced riders on the BSB grid, Iddon - who can trace his BSB debut right back to 2010 - makes the switch to AJN Steelstock Kawasaki after two seasons spent with the Oxford Products Ducati squad.
A four-time BSB race winner, including one achieved en route to sixth overall in 2024, Iddon is excited to add Kawasaki to his roster having previously raced Honda, BMW, Bimota and Ducati machinery in the series.
“I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the very impressive team workshop and been welcomed with open arms by the team and Kawasaki,” Iddon - who replaces Jason O’Halloran in the team, told the BSB website
“After spending four of the last five years on another manufacturer’s bikes, I know there will be a bit of adaptation to make, but once I am able to get on the team’s ZX-10RR superbike, I plan to start making the changes necessary for me to get the best out of the bike.
“Kawasaki has achieved considerable success over the years in BSB, and my own expectations are very high, so I’m just excited for 2025 to hurry up so we can get down to business.’’
Cook, meanwhile, heads into his third season with FS-3 Racing having made his BSB debut with the team aged only 19-years old in 2023.
Having shown a marked step forward this season and added to his podium tally with a run to second at Thruxton, the youngster is aiming to make a big push up the order for 2025.
“The 2024 season was a big learning curve for me, and there were many high points during the year, including achieving my first BSB pole position and podium finish.
“I know the areas for improvement to come from me in 2025 so I can become an established front-runner.
“A strong finish to the 2024 season has given me a big boost in confidence and shown me what the ZX-10RR is really capable of.
“I’m really looking forward to having a strong and consistent season, and thank you, AJN Steelstock Kawasaki, for giving me the opportunity."
