Reitwagen Motorsport BMW has officially announced that Andrew Pitt, who signed a two year contract, will be riding with their new team, that will debut in the WSBK paddock next season.
The team will be fielding BMW’s S 1000 RR and have already confirmed Austrian rider Roland Resch as their other rider.
The squad will be run by Alfred Inzinger and Johan ‘Stiggy’ Stigefelt, who just three days ago announced that he was pulling his WSBK and SS teams from the 2010 championship, will be the technical manager.
Other key crew members from Stiggy’s ex team have also found a place in the team and former racer Peter Goddard will be working as the chassis engineer.
The Reitwagen Motorsport team are now preparing for their first test which will take place at the Eastern Creek circuit in Australia in January and then test at Phillip Island twice before the start of the season at the end of February, but will not be at the Portimao test.
