KTS Racing and Jamie Coward will use Triumph and BMW machinery at the 2025 Isle of Man TT.
For the 2025 Road Racing season Macadam Triumph Factory Racing has joined forces with road racing experts KTS Racing.
The team will compete in the North West 200 and the Isle of Man TT with the Street Triple 765. Piloting the factory Triumph machinery will be three-time TT Privateer Champion, Jamie Coward.
At the 2024 Isle of Man TT Coward had a solid showing for KTS Racing across the Superbike, Supertwin, Supersport and Superstock classes.
His best results last year were two fourth places in the Metzeler Supertwin TT Race One and Monster Energy Supersport TT Race Two. Coward already has experience with Triumph in the Supersport class after riding on the Triumph Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition.
As well as a switch to Triumph machinery for the Supersport class the team and Coward have also changed manufacturers for the 'bike bike' classes. After using Honda's in 2024 they will switch to the German manufacturer, BMW, for the 2025 season.
“As a team, we sat down to evaluate our options and agreed that BMW was the best way forward and the best package to be on at the TT,” Coward said.
“When you look at the lap speeds, especially the speed trap figures, the BMW has that extra edge.
“It also suits taller riders better, and the team has secured an ex-Josh Brookes bike, so I’m looking forward to testing it.”
“We’re obviously delighted to be continuing our partnership with Jamie, as we’ve enjoyed some superb results over the last few years,” KTS team owner Kevin Watret said.
“We’re equally thrilled to now be the official Triumph team on the roads.
“Since the formation of KTS Racing in 2019, we have strived for an opportunity like this, and it’s great to see our efforts being rewarded.
“Last year was our first with the Triumph triple, and Jamie more than showed its potential with a fourth-place finish in race two and another personal best lap.
“We feel there’s even more potential, and with factory support and the combined expertise of our teams, we’re optimistic for a great season ahead.”
