Erik Buell Racing in association with their key partner Hero MotoCorp
has announced that they will be entering the 2014 World Super Bike
Championship. The team has been named ‘Team Hero EBR’ and will make the
switch from the AMA Superbike series to WSBK 2014 with two riders, Geoff
May and Aaron Yates and will be using their proven 2014 EBR 1190RX for
this series.
This development not only makes Erik Buell Racing the first American
manufacturer to enter this prestigious race series, but also makes Hero
MotoCorp to be the first Indian manufacturer to be associated with it.
The 2014 season starts from February 23 at Philip Island and will have
14 races in total. With Team Hero EBR, MV Augusta has also confirmed
that they will be participating in the next WBSK season.
"We are delighted to be partnering with EBR at the Superbike World
Championship this year. Hero is the first Indian two-wheeler brand to be
associated with this event and this is also the debut year for Team
Hero EBR at the series. This is in perfect sync with brand Hero's
fast-paced global expansion into new international markets. I am sure it
is going to be a lot of fun and we do look forward to some exciting
times at the championships this year," said Pawan Munjal, MD & CEO,
Hero MotoCorp.
We are delighted to announce our plans to compete in the 2014 World
Superbike championship.The entire team is excited and looking forward to
the challenge ahead. Our riders Geoff and Aaron are both proven front
runners within the AMA championship and will bring a wealth of riding
experience to our campaign. We have a lot of work to do but when the
lights go out for the opening race at Phillip Island in February, we
will be ready," said Giulio Bardi, team manager, Team Hero EBR.See video :
