Danny Kent becomes the first British Superbike rider to announce his plans for 2025 as he commits to McAMS Racing for next season.
McAMS Racing and Danny Kent confirmed at Thruxton that their partnership will continue into the 2025 season. Kent joined McAMS Racing for the start of the 2024 season, a decision that has resulted in Kent standing on the podium four times in the opening half of the season.
After six rounds Kent is fifth in the BSB Championship, his best performance in the Championship since arriving full-time in 2022 with Suzuki. The 30-year-old has become a consistent front-running Superbike rider this season on the Yamaha R1.
“I’m very pleased to be continuing into 2025 with McAMS Racing," Kent said. "The team and I have a great relationship, so I’m looking forward to seeing it progress into another season on track.
"It’s always been my intention to continue with the same team. There’s still much more to come from both me and the bike, but so far this year, we’ve done a great job. We’ll get our heads down for the remainder of the 2024 season and continue to learn and improve as the year goes on.
"The hunt for our first race win is still on, I feel confident that we’ll be able to add it to the locker before the season is out, along with some extra podiums too.”
Team Owner, Tim Martin, added: “There’s still plenty to play for in 2024. We’ve been looking at our options for next year and are pleased to announce that Danny will be continuing with us for another year.
"I’m confident that together, we’ll be able to build on the progress we have already made during the first half of the year. Hopefully, we can carry that into the rest of the season and propel ourselves towards the front of the championship.”
