Long-time team owner Paul Bird, who enjoyed British Superbike Championship success and Isle of Man TT victories, has died aged 56 following a short illness.
A brief statement from the PBM team said Bird died earlier on Friday having been hospitalised with illness.
"Paul Bird died earlier today at the age of 56 following a short time in hospital with illness. Paul's family are requesting privacy during this time."PBM's first success came with the late Steve Hislop in 2002, before Shane Byrne – who replaced Hislop – scored the first of his five titles with the team in 2003.
PBM would be champion again in 2019 when it signed ex-MotoGP rider Scott Redding to ride its Ducati, with Josh Brookes making it back-to-back titles the following season. Bird told Motorcycle News at the time that a gang had planted the contraband on his trucks, while the driver – Phil Roe – was sentenced to 18 years in prison.
