About The Team
Mike Edwards and Steve Jordan started working
together in 2004 when Steve joined his wife Sarah to
race in the MiniTwins race series that Mike had founded
and was organising at the time. MIST Suzuki Racing was
set up to provide support for their racing during the
season.
After getting to know a young rider called Matt Bond
in 2004 Mike opted to stop racing himself and focus the
resources of the team to help the talented eighteen year
old the following year.
As a member of the team Matt achieved all the goals
for 2005 by winning twenty-seven races, taking five lap
records and achieving thirty-six podium finishes during
the season. Matt was awarded the 'Torquemeter Trophy'
for being one of the 'Top Solo Performers' in the MRO[1]
Championship 2005. Previous winners of the trophy
include Mike Hailwood, John Surtees and Terry Rymer.
Matt won the MRO MiniTwins championship and managed a
string of nine consecutive race wins that were televised
as part of the PowerBike Tour and BikeSportUK programmes
shown on Sky Sports and Motors TV.
Matt also took fourth in the Bemsee [2]MiniTwins
series despite not contesting the full championship.
The team scored a further two race wins and a second
place when Mike lent his bike to another ‘Mike Edwards’,
this time it was Mike ‘Spike’ Edwards, ex-British
SuperSport 600 champion, who had agreed to a one off
ride to help promote the series and the team. To
demonstrate the talent within the team it was Matt Bond
who beat the regular European race winner in to second
place. Steve Jordan also added to the successful result
sheet with a race win and four podium finishes during
the year.
