Swann Insurance joins WSBK at the Australian Round

Barcelona (Spain), Friday 12 December 2014 – Australia’s opening round of the eni FIM Superbike World Championship, next February 20-22 at Phillip Island, will welcome Swann Insurance to the track, as the Australian insurer has backed the event as the Event Main Sponsor.

Having insured Australian motorcyclists for over 40 years, Swann Insurance has taken their slogan “Protect What You Love” to a new level, supporting the event that showcases the world’s leading production-based bikes and their grid of talented riders.

Swann Insurance has a rich history of involvement in Australian motorcycle racing, supporting MotoGP, Australian Superbikes and even off-road motorcycling action with the MX-Nationals.

“We are excited about our sponsorship and our involvement further connects Swann Insurance with the Australian motorcycle community,” said Glenn Rosbrook Senior Manager Direct of Swann Insurance as he surveyed the Phillip Island GP Circuit. World Superbike is an event that motorcycle riders really love. They love, and Swann loves, that the bikes on the track are so similar to the bikes motorcyclists own, and we insure, on the road. We believe motorcycle fans love the competitive grids and the intense racing of world superbikes. There is no better place in the world to showcase the category than on Australia’s scintillating Phillip Island and Swann is ready for the ride!”

Marc Saurina, Dorna WSBK Commercial and Marketing Director: “We are glad to welcome Swann Insurance, one of Australia’s largest general insurance groups, to the eni FIM Superbike World Championship, as the Event Main Sponsor for the season opener.
