Neave twins

Unless you’ve been an avid follower of BSB over the last two years then there is a very good chance that you won’t know who my brother or I am. That’s because we have only been road racing for three years. So allow me to introduce myself, I’m Tim and my identical twin brother is Tom.

We’ve both come from a flat track background but spent 2016 and 2017 racing in the Metzler National Superstock 600 Championship where we made history by being the first twins to stand on the top and middle step of the podium on two occasions. During the 2017 season we got pole positions, lap records and seven podiums between us, including three wins. Tom finished joint fifth (although I would call it sixth), and I ended up seventh in the championship so it was a really good year for us both.
