The IWR Racing Team have announced their riders and sponsor for the 2025 BSB season.
Scott Swann has earned a promotion to the British Superbike Championship for the 2025 season.
The Northern Irish rider will join IWR Racing, who also announced their new 2025 title sponsor Send My Bag.
In 2024 Swann competed in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship and won five races throughout the season.
Swann said: “I would say this is the most excited I have ever been in my career to get a racing season underway. I would like to thank Ian and the whole IWR Team for such an unbelievable opportunity to move up to the British Superbike class in 2025 and this moment, to race a Superbike, is something I have worked towards my whole life.
“I am super excited and I can’t wait to get testing underway to scratch that itch! Last year I put a huge amount of effort into my racing and this year it will definitely go up another notch, as that is what you have to do to be a Superbike rider, but I really believe I am ready to make the step up.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity with this team as they are so experienced and have been around for a long time, so I know for a fact that they can give me what I need and we will all have a great time doing it! We are going to be trying to get the best results we can and I can’t wait to get started.”
Simon Reid has also signed a deal with the Send My Bag Honda by IWR Team. However, Reid will continue to represent the team in the National Superstock Championship next year.
Reid said: “I am super pleased to be staying with Ian and James in the IWR Team. I have enjoyed the racing with them this season more than ever and there is a great atmosphere in the team.
“The continuity of staying there, leading into next year, I feel will make us strong contenders and we are there to aim for podiums and challenge for the championship.
“I can’t wait to ride the new 2025 bike as that should be a good step too and the season cannot come around quick enough.
“I am also looking forward to having Scott as a teammate, so we have two Northern Irish riders and a Northern Irish title sponsor sendmybag.com, so I feel we have all the ingredients to make a really good season and I am ready for it.”
