Dafabet Racing announces big changes for the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

Mikey Evans has signed for the Dafabet Racing Team for the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

Evans won the 2017 Manx Grand Prix and completed a solid 2024 Isle of Man TT campaign. The Manx rider finished ninth and eleventh in the Supersport class, as well as setting his best Superbike lap at the TT on a Suzuki.

For the 2025 Isle of Man TT Evans will compete in all classes with Dafabet Racing.

In the Senior, Superbike and Superstock races Evans will ride a Honda CBR1000RR-R, as well as a Kawasaki Z650 in the Supertwin class.

“I’m really excited for this opportunity with Dafabet Racing especially with a bike as competitive as the Honda Fireblade; a truly competitive bike in the big bike class is all that’s been missing for me,” Evans said.

“The Suzuki has served me well and I’ve been pleased with the results and the progress we’ve made as a small team, but you only have to look at the entry at the International Road Races and BSB to realise the Honda is the bike to be on.

“I lapped at 128.2mph and finished inside the top 20 last year, an achievement I was pleased with, but we had a few issues and there’s definitely more speed in me.

“I believe I’m capable of more and getting as close to the top ten as possible on the big bike will be the main aim in 2025, but I’m also excited to ride the Kawasaki as it’s widely recognised as one of the best Supertwins on the grid.

“The team have the experience of running at the sharp end and I’m confident they can help me improve and climb further up the leaderboard-their track record speaks for itself and if I can crack the top five, that’ll be amazing.”
