PHR Performance sign Harrison Dessoy for the 2025 Pirelli National Sportbike Championship.

Reigning Pirelli National Sportbike champions PHR Performance announced that Harrison Dessoy will ride for the team in the 2025 Sportbike Championship.

Dessoy will enter his second season in the Championship after finishing seventh in the 2024 standings. Last year Dessoy stood on the podium at Knockhill and Donington Park in his first season in the Sportbike class.

The 2024 Pirelli National Sportbike champion, Richard Cooper, will remain with the team for 2025. However, he will switch to the role of team manager and rider coach for PHR Performance next season.

Dessoy said: “I am really excited to be joining the PHR Performance Team; it’s a team that have a lot of experience in the new Sportbike class and to jump on the championship-winning bike with the guidance from both Pete and Richard is something I am looking forward to. I am super happy and can’t wait to see what we can do when we get the season underway next year.”

Team Owner Hickman said: “I am obviously happy to keep the team going in the championship and also to have Richard Cooper involved as the rider coach and team manager as his experience will be invaluable. Harrison has shown a lot of pace and promise this year and I think joining the championship-winning team will only bring him on more. I am excited for them to get the season started.”
