DAO RACING LAUNCH ALL-NEW HONDA SET-UP FOR THE 2025 BSB SEASON

DAO Racing has officially unveiled its all-new Honda Fireblade setup, marking a new era for the team as they prepare for the 2025 British Superbike Championship (BSB) season. With a fresh rider lineup and proven results record for the Honda CBR1000R-R, DAO Racing is ready to take on most competitive national racing championship in the world once again.

The team welcomes two-time BSB champion Josh Brookes and 2024 Honda podium finisher Lee Jackson, both of whom bring a wealth of experience and talent to the new DAO Racing 2025 team set-up.

The challenge was on throughout the winter for the DAO Racing crew, as they worked tirelessly to build the all-new two-bike Honda superbike setup. With their 2025 vision set at new heights, the team is eager for the season to begin at Navarra in just a few weeks.

Josh Brookes, #25:

‘To be honest I wasn’t quite ready to leave the 37 degree heat in Australia, so it’s been quite a shock to come back here. However, it is for good reason. I’m certainly well aware of the amount of work that has gone getting to now, the time and effort that has gone in by all the team from the end of last season until now to get the bike ready. So, it is good to finally have the bike on display so everyone can get an idea of the hard work, the quality of work that the team have put in to get started this year. It’s also another step closer to pre-season testing, which is what I’m truly looking forward to, getting going and riding the bike. I’ve had a huge amount of time on a bike throughout the off-season so I feel very well prepared for the pre-season testing. So, I just want to get out to Spain, get going with the bike, understanding the package as it is for British Superbikes and refining it further. Of course, Lee has very good knowledge of the bike, so we can initially rely on his feedback on the bike, but once I’ve got a feeling for the bike, we’ll very quickly be making changes and making the bike feel more like my own.’

Lee Jackson, #14:

‘Looking forward to starting 2025, obviously for me staying on a Honda is a great thing for me, continuing to build on the experience and my previous knowledge on the bike. Joining DAO Racing who are a team who are looking for some great achievements in BSB and are areally motivated to support me and Josh in aiming for some great results this year. For me my key focus is being at the front and of course eventually fighting for the championship. So, I’m really forward to getting started, getting to know the team and getting stuck into testing in a few weeks.’

Jonny Bagnall, Team Manager:

‘It’s no secret that this year, we’ve made quite a few significant changes, building from the ground up. We’re finally pleased to reveal our new livery, retaining some of its classic DAO style but with a fresh new background colour. We’re really excited to take our first steps towards the start of the season. The team just can’t wait to get going.’

DAO Racing is set to make its season debut at Navarra, and fans can look forward to an electrifying display of speed, skill, and strategy.
