LuxeStar VIP Suzuki are thrilled to confirm that American rider Gus Rodio will compete aboard the MP RACING Suzuki GSX-8R in the Sportbike class at the upcoming British Superbike Championship (BSB) rounds at Donington Park and Brands Hatch.

Rodio, hailing from Hammonton, New Jersey, brings a wealth of racing experience and a proven track record at the highest levels of competitive sportbike racing. Over the past two seasons, he has been a standout performer in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup, securing the runner-up spot both years and notching multiple race victories—including career defining back-to-back  wins at the iconic Daytona International Speedway by over 11 seconds each.
This won’t be Gus’s first outing on British soil—he previously competed at Brands Hatch, where he delivered an impressive Top 5 performance that impressed fans and teams alike.

Now, set to return with LuxeStar VIP Suzuki, he’s eager to take on the challenges of BSB’s renowned circuits and showcase the capabilities of the GSX-8R in the BSB Sportbike class.

I’m excited to be joining LuxeStar VIP Suzuki for the Donington and Brands Hatch rounds,” said Rodio. “British Superbikes has always been something I’ve admired, and I’m looking forward to giving it everything I’ve got on the MP RACING Suzuki GSX-8R and represent the USA.

I’m also excited to bring Gus back to BSB racing,” said Scott Rehl, Founder of LuxeStar VIP and the associated team. “It’s been one of my goals to elevate US racers into international series and bring back a title, like I did with Brandon Paasch in 2019. Working with MP RACING has been fantastic, and I have to thank my UK business partner David Howard for helping organize this opportunity.

In the meantime, Gus continues to compete in MotoAmerica Supersport on his Rodio Performance Ducati V2.

Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to the BSB Donington round.
