The 2025 British Superbike Championship marks Leon Haslam's return to Ducati after 18 years with different manufacturers.

Leon Haslam is coming off the back of an injury-filled 2024 Bennetts British Superbike campaign to a return to Ducati for 2025.

After two years with his own ROKiT Haslam Racing Team, the 2018 British Superbike Champion has joined the Moto Rapido Ducati Racing team.

This season will be Haslam's first year on a Ducati since the 2007 British Superbike Championship when he finished third in the Championship.

At the Navarra Test on Sunday and Monday, Haslam ended up as the fifth fastest rider at the first pre-season test and was 0.880 seconds behind Glenn Irwin.

Haslam said: "It’s good to be back! From my side, the last time I rode a race bike was back in October, but we have had a productive winter. I had quite a lot of injuries over the last two years and so I pretty much went straight to the gym after Brands Hatch and have been fixing myself. Now I am back doing fun stuff again like trials riding and pit biking, and I am feeling a lot stronger.

"Coming here to Navarra, I have been getting to know all the boys for the first time, it’s the first time adapting myself to this Ducati, and to be honest at this test we have gone through a big old list of stuff. We probably used the least amount of tyres to anyone, but we are feeling pretty strong and competitive even though we haven’t thrown anything at it yet.

"The Ducati has similar characteristics to what I remember from the last time I rode one, obviously Ducati, at the minute are really putting a lot of force into championships – it’s amazing. From my perspective, I have obviously been battling the Ducatis for a lot of years. I remember being teammates with Alvaro and seeing him move back to Ducati and win a championship it hurt a little so to finally get on a Ducati now is amazing."
