PTR Triumph Factory Racing complete their rider line up for next season with the signing of Oli Bayliss, who will join British rider, Tom Booth-Amos, in the World Supersport Championship for 2025.

Born in Monaco to three times World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss, the 21-year-old Australian began racing in the Australian Supersport series in 2017 at the tender age of thirteen.

A couple of successful years in the Australian Superbike domestic series followed before he took a step further in his career and embarked on his first season in the World Supersport Championship in 2022 where he achieved a best result of sixth position.

The following year, Bayliss was hit with injury half way through the year which halted his progress but in 2024 has gone on to establish himself as a top ten runner in the Championship.

The move to PTR Triumph Factory Racing heralds a new beginning for Bayliss as he changes marque for the first time and has already tested the Triumph Street Triple 765 at Jerez in October.

Oli Bayliss, said: “I am super excited to continue my World Supersport journey in 2025 with PTR Triumph. We had a test straight after the last round in Jerez and I felt good on the bike and gelled well with the team. I need to say a big thank you to Darrell Healey and GSE for their continuous support over the years and to Simon Buckmaster for giving me this opportunity. I think we can have a good season and achieve some goals.”

Steve Sargent, Triumph Motorcycles Chief Product Officer, added: “We are pleased to welcome Oli to the Triumph Factory team. He is an exciting young talent who we feel has the potential, alongside Tom to deliver a strong performance in 2025. We feel we have both the bike and the team to help get Oli the results that he deserves and I am very much looking forward to watching what he and the team can achieve this season.”
