Josh Brookes and Lee Jackson will remain in the DAO Racing Honda squad for the 2026 British Superbike Championship.
The DAO Racing Honda squad have confirmed their 2026 Bennetts British Superbike rider line-up ahead of the 2025 Showdown.
Two-time British Superbike Champion, Josh Brookes, and Lee Jackson will both remain in the team and will continue to compete on the Honda CBR1000RR-R.
Brookes and Jackson have had difficult debut seasons in the DAO Racing Honda squad. Brookes has secured a podium for the team and is 10th in the British Superbike standings. However, Jackson is 16th in the Championship and has been dealing with injuries since Brands Hatch.
"The reason I re-signed is that we had a great year," Brookes said.
"Not exactly the results we were looking for, but I’ve really enjoyed the year we have had so far with the team, the crew, and the atmosphere of how it all operates.
"I’m not shy of a challenge, so I feel like we have a challenge on our hands. We haven’t had the results we are looking for, so, the challenge is only going to extend into next year now, but at least we have the continuity to move forward.
"It also gives us some confidence that what we are working on this year is going to prosper into next year. So, for me, it’s all positive mind set and looking forward to the future."
Jackson added: "I’m delighted to be re-signing for DAO Racing for 2026. When the opportunity was there for me to sign, I didn’t have to think twice. This year has not been my best season in BSB, but the team have worked tirelessly all year and has put a great bike beneath me when I have been here.
"To have the opportunity to re-sign and come back next year with a stronger package, and a full year worth of data, I’m really looking forward to returning. I know I can perform at the front end of the BSB and give DAO Racing what I wanted to give them this year.
"The year isn’t over yet, we still have a few more rounds, but I know that racing for DAO Racing next year, we can do a fantastic job and having that consistency, same team, same bike, coming into a new season is always going to give you that upper hand, so I’m really looking forward to it."
