The insurance broking company, which has a major office in Swindon, is back as title sponsor of the British Superbike winning Ducati team starting in April but this month it was motocross on the agenda with Be Wiser being the title sponsor of the Hawkstone event which attracted some of the world’s best riders.

Organisers said the event had been a total success with great weather, challenging track and top GP riders from around the world competing against the best British riders.

Be Wiser’s Andrew Dunkerley said the company was thrilled to be have involved with the event for a second year.

“It has been great to be involved with the Hawkstone team again and the day provided some great racing as a prelude to the start of the official MX race season,” he said.

“The event was the perfect stage for riders to see how they and their teams have developed over the winter and it was great to see so many people enjoy some great racing at the Shropshire circuit.”
