Superbike Racing 2025 Season
Duncan Perry are proud to sponsor the PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team in the Supersport World Championship for 2025.
The weekend of the 29th/30th March 2025 took place at the tricky and undulating Portimao circuit in Portugal.
In a display of skill and control, race one of the 2025 FIM Supersport World Championship on Saturday saw an impressive performance from Tom Booth-Amos, who started from twelfth position on the grid and battled hard throughout the 17-lap race.
Despite his starting position TBA kept his focus, riding an intelligent race with well-timed overtakes lap after lap to cross the line in fifth place. The British rider produced one of the fastest laps of the race which qualified him further up the grid in P6 for Sundays race two.
Race 2 on Sunday saw Tom make a thrilling return to the podium clinching a well-deserved third place in the FIM Supersport World Championship.
Booth-Amos’ performance at the sunshine bathed Portuguese circuit was a true testament to his growing credentials as a front-runner and his efforts have once again given the team reason to celebrate. The 29-year-old now sits second in the championship with 72 points, just thirteen behind leader Stefano Manzi.
It was a bittersweet day for the team as in a disappointing turn of events, Oli Bayliss’ race on Sunday came to an untimely end as he crashed on lap four and was forced to retire from the race.
PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team Manager Simon Buckmaster:
“Another great result for Tom on the podium. He’s second in the championship, we still lead the team’s championship and are second in the manufacturer’s championship. The team worked really hard and kept improving and we made another good step for race two. We are going to Assen next and we need to keep producing the results and challenging for the championship. It was a big shame for Oli, I felt that we had improved the bike for him and I truly believed he would have been in the points but he made a mistake and crashed out. He is fine and we need to get him well into the points and we will work hard and get it right with him in Assen".
The race meeting at Assen takes place on the weekend of Saturday/Sunday 12th and 13th April.
