Bridewell said: “There has been a lot of speculation on my future and where I am going to be doing for the 2024 season, obviously it has taken some time after the season to enjoy it and reflect on it and then look at t🍷he options for next year.

“I will be in BSB and it will be amazing to say that I will run the number one which is coo🔯l, unfortunately I🐷 will not be with PBM for the 2024 season.

"It is obviouslꦕy a massive shame because we had༺ a such a great year and it has been a blast for sure.

“When Paul phoned me to offer me the ride for this season, it was an 🃏honour to take that call.

"I have been lucky and privileged 🌱enough to give him his ninth BSB Championship and also my first and I will be for every grateful for the opportunity that he gave me.

“I want to take the chance to thank the PBM team, Paul and everyone involved - my crew have been absolutely flawless all season. I want to thank Frank Bird 🎐Poultry, as he is a massive part of the team history. I also want to thank Ducati UK and Ducati Corse.

“I should have some exciting and positive news coming soon a꧃bout 2024 BSB. I a♔m very motivated to come back and defend my title and I know I will have the package to do that.”
