“We’ve had some brilliant times wi💦th Kawa𓂃saki and want to thank them for their support.

“From originally supplying us with ZX6s in our first year in National Superstock, right on throug♛h to our Senior TT win—the first win Kawasaki gained in almost 40 years—and then being a fully fledged BSB team, it’s been an incredible journey.

“They’ll be missed, and I’d like to thank all the guys and 😼girls at Kawasaki for their support over the 𝓰years.”

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing and Racing Department for Kawasaki UK added: “The DAO Racing team have been an i🥃mportant and successful part of the Kawasaki and Team Green family for a number of years, achieving some fantastic results along the way, including most notably a Senior TT win at the Isle of Man with Dean Harrison.

“It’s a shame to see the𝕴m move away from the Kawasaki brand, but I would personally like to wish them 𝓰all the best for their next steps.”

DAO Racing says it will announce it🎉s plans for 2025 in due course.
