For the final three rounds of the Pirelli National Superstock Championship, Ash Barnes will be on the grid with Rapid Honda.

Ash Barnes has joined Rapid Honda to complete the 2025 season in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship.

Throughout the 2025 season, Barnes has been competing in the Pirelli National Sportbike Championship with Raceways Yamaha, and has also made appearances in the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship.

"I’m really looking forward to the last three rounds, it will be a new challenge learning a new bike but I’m excited to get stuck in," said Barnes.

"It will be a fresh start for me; however, Matt, Claire and my new Crew Chief, Dave, have already made me feel very welcome with Rapid Honda, and I’m super grateful for the opportunity.

"Donington will be my first time out on the bike, so it will be nice to hear the feedback from the team, especially as they have past experience of the Honda Fireblade. I’m looking forward to absorbing as much information as possible and doing the best job I can."

Team Owner Matt Bainbridge commented: "We are really excited to have Ash joining Rapid Honda for the remainder of the 2025 season. He is a very talented rider and there are many benefits and links between Rapid Honda and Ash, that we feel will make the partnership work and be successful.

"Ash fits perfectly with our ethos of helping young talent develop and progress and we will be supporting him every way we can during these final three rounds. It will be a busy end of the season with three riders but we can’t wait to get started."
