TAS Racing will switch to Ducati in 2025 but has re-signed Rory Skinner for a second season.

After ending its partnership with BMW, TAS Racing has announced that it will begin a new era with Ducati.

Despite a new manufacturer, TAS Racing will keep the same rider as Rory Skinner commits to a second year with the team. The Scotsman will ride for his third different manufacturer in British Superbikes.

Skinner had a difficult season in 2024 as he struggled with injuries throughout the season. However, he did win a race at home at Knockhill in June.

Skinner said: “First of all I am delighted to remain in the TAS Racing set-up for 2025. We enjoyed a win this season in BSB and with a change of machinery to Ducati for 2025 – a bike that has been a major success in BSB with various riders and team – I firmly believe we can be at the sharp end all year.

“It’s an honour to be representing such a prestigious brand and I’m sure the bike will have a stand out appearance in Cheshire Mouldings Ducati livery, prepared by TAS Racing.”

TAS Racing will also compete in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship in 2025. The team have signed Edoardo Colombi to ride their Ducati Panigale V2 next season in Supersport. The Italian ended the 2024 season in second place in the Pirelli National Sportbike Championship.

Colombi said: “I have very much enjoyed my first season on British tracks and to come so close to winning a title was enjoyable and will set me up well for the British Supersport Championship.

"To come to a team like TAS Racing with so much history is exciting for me and to be riding the Ducati V2, which I know is a great bike, is also something to look forward to very much. The team has already made me very welcome and I cannot wait to get started on the Cheshire Mouldings Ducati by TAS Racing.”
