"OMG Racing, Yamaha Motor UK’s Supported Team in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship, have today confirmed they will withdraw from the championship effective immediately for unforeseen commercial reasons.
"Yamaha Motor UK would like to thank Alan Gardner and the OMG team for their hard work and efforts representing Yamaha to a high standard, not only over the 2024 season, but in the two seasons prior to that. In their time with Yamaha in BSB, OMG Racing have achieved vast levels of success, including taking Yamaha to championship victory in both 2022 with Bradley Ray and Kyle Ryde in 2024.
"Yamaha Motor UK are in conversation with BSB promoter MSVR about the options and position in regard to the 2025 season."
A statement from OMG Racing also reads:
"OMG Racing are deeply saddened to announce that due to significant commercial circumstances beyond our control, the reigning Champions will no longer be competing in the 2025 Bennetts British Superbike Championship.
"Since our entry in 2018, we have strived relentlessly to become arguably the strongest team in the series, and thanks to the drive & determination of Team Principal Paul Curran & the wider team, have achieved two Riders’ & Teams’ Championship titles, alongside the Manufacturers’ title with Yamaha in 2024.
"This was not an easy decision to make, and I would personally like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Paul, Hollie & the entire team, alongside the army of fans that have supported our journey over the last 7-seasons, as well as our many long standing sponsors.
"Alongside MSVR, we are actively pursuing alternative routes for 2024 Riders’ Champion Kyle Ryde, 2022 Riders’ Champion Bradley Ray, and Joe Talbot.
"We will be contacting those of you that have booked VIP Hospitality with us during the next week to arrange alternatives or refunds as they wish.
"Alan Gardner."
