PRESS RELEASE :

In a lineup of familiar faces, Honda Racing UK is delighted to reveal the riders campaigning for the manufacturer throughout the 2025 season in British Championship racing and at the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT races. 

In the Bennetts British Superbike series, Tommy Bridewell continues for a second year determined to go one better next season and become a two-time BSB champion. His remarkable 2024 campaign was punctuated with three wins and a further sixteen podiums en route to second in the championship standings, just a single point away from consecutive titles on alternate manufacturers. 

Joining him aboard a Honda Racing UK Fireblade once more is Northern Irishman Andrew Irwin, who is set to embark on his fifth season with the team (2019-2020, 2023-2025). A previous winner aboard Honda machinery, he made a welcome return to the podium on multiple occasions last year and targets more in 2025.

Returning to race once more in the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT Races, Dean Harrison is eager to build on an excellent debut year racing the Fireblade and CBR600RR on the roads. Podiums aboard Superbike, Superstock & Supersport machinery in his first year of racing for Honda laid the solid foundations on which to build in 2025. Dean will also supplement his road racing activities with a season of racing in the British Supersport category. 

Lining up alongside him in the iconic colours of Honda once more to compete solely in the ‘big bike’ classes is road racing royalty, John McGuinness MBE. His popular return to the podium at this year’s NW200 was a clear standout from his thirty-fourth season of motorcycle racing, and with season thirty-five now confirmed, he and Honda look set to continue making history together for another year.

Classic TT Returns for 2025

by

Classic TT Returns for 2025 :

The Isle of Man TT has announced that the Classic TT will return in 2025. The event last ran in 2019.

The Classic TT for vintage machinery from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s first took place in 2013 and ran through to 2019.

Since 2022 the classic events and machinery have been held and raced as part of the Manx Grand Prix. One of the biggest issues for fan, riders, teams and organisation is that the new version of the MGP had been held over fewer days than the two weeks allocated for the old joint format.

For 2025, the Classic TT will return in its own right and will again run alongside the Manx GP back over the two week format in August.

The Manx GP will start on Sunday 17 August 2025 and run to Monday 25 August 2025. The Classic TT will run between 20-29 August 2025.
