In a major announcement for the British Superbike Championship (BSB), veteran rider Josh Brookes has been confirmed to join DAO Racing for the 2025 season.
The Australian, a multiple BSB race winner and former champion, will be a key figure for the team!
As they look to challenge for top honours in the highly competitive series.
With a wealth of experience and two championship titles under his belt, he aims to reclaim his competitive edge, on the Honda in the Bennett’s British Superbike Championship.
Brookes expressed enthusiasm for the crew he’ll be working with!
He is eager to dive into all of the technical development planned before the season kicks off!
He said: “There’s been a number of years now where I’ve had very few satisfying race results in BSB and that doesn’t match my prior history of racing. My take on that is that motorbikes and teams come in and out of favour through the years and I’ve unfortunately placed myself just in the wrong place at the wrong time, to miss the sweet spot of success.
“So, having made those errors in judgement, I now have the knowledge and more understanding of where I want to be and what’s needed to recover success again. I have confidence in my decision for 2025 that the combination of bike, team, preparation and focus will bring back the so desired results we all seek. I already have confidence in the crew I will be working with, but I gain even more confidence as I learn more about the spec and the technical development that we plan to work through prior to the season starting.”
Jonny Bagnall, DAO Racing Team Manager, commented: “Josh is a big signing for us with him being a previous British Superbike champion and his vast experience in the championship. I think he has had a tough couple of years on the BMW and is as excited as we are to get going with this Honda on circuit. It’s been proven what it is capable of this year and signing a man of his experience shows we are looking at pushing further up the field, aiming for results that the team deserve.”

DAO Racing, a team that has steadily risen through the ranks in recent seasons. They have now secured one of the most talented riders on the grid.
