It’s been a positive start for all four Tyco BMW riders during the opening half of the four day test at Cartagena in Spain. Michael Laverty has picked up where he left off after his Brands Hatch victory during the final round of 2015, and is comfortable, composed and enjoying his second spell on the Tyco BMW S1000RR Superbike.

Christian Iddon has moved into the other side of the British Superbike set-up with Tyco BMW, in what can only be described as a seamless transition. He has made steady progress throughout the opening two days at the Spanish circuit on his S1000RR Superbike and is fully enjoying his new team.

Reigning British Superstock 1000cc champion Josh Elliott is already well inside the ballpark times he set himself for the four day test on his new machinery and will continue to look for incremental improvements over the weekend.

Last but certainly not least is 11-time Isle of Man TT winner Ian Hutchinson who has also impressed on the Superstock specification Tyco BMW S1000RR that he will campaign alongside Elliott in British championship this season.

Hutchy also got his first taste of action aboard the Tyco BMW S1000RR Superbike that he will campaign on the International Road Racing scene this season and will continue on the same bike tomorrow.
