Tommy Searle completes signing GTCI Revo Kawasaki for 2023
By Team TMX on 12th Oct 22
Tommy Searle has completed his move to Kawasaki and in 2023 will defend his MX1 British championship title with GTCI Revo Kawasaki.
After a long and successful career, much of which has been spent with Kawasaki, Searle is returning to the fold for the 2023 season.
The four-time British MX1 champion began his career on a Kawasaki KX85, enjoying a very successful youth career before climbing through the ranks to take his first MX1 title in 2016. Now, 33-year-old Searle is returning to Kawasaki power and will be looking to repeat that success in 2023.
"Im very happy to be back on a Kawasaki, a bike that I have had the best years of my career on," Searle said. "A huge part in making it happen was Nick at GTCI, so Im very thankful for that and together with Mark at Revo, we have a great outfit for 2023. After spending a day on the bike with the team this week, I already feel very at home."
GTCI Revo Kawasaki reveal 2023 squad
Searles signing completes a strong lineup for the GTCI Revo Kawasaki team, with British-born Kiwi Dylan Walsh set to compete in the MX2 class and also the AMA 250SX West series. The team will also support 2022 British BW85 champion Billy Askew who will campaign the KX250 in the British championship MXY2/Youth Open class.
Team owner Mark Yates said: "We are really pleased to have Tommy on the team. Weve discussed it over the last two years, and now weve finally put it together with the help of our new sponsor GTCI and Kawasaki UK. Tommy recently tested a race-prepared Revo Kawasaki KX450 and said he felt back home on the green machine and comfortable straight away.
We have a little bit to do to get the suspension to his liking and a little bit on engine calibration, but he felt it was good enough to race out of the box! As a team, we are stoked for 2023."
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki UK: "We have had a lot of success working with Tommy in the past, and he has such a rich history with Kawasaki and Team Green. We are very excited to have him back on a green machine and are confident that with the highly experienced Revo team behind him, we can all be fighting for another British title in 2023!"
