The year 2025 will mark a new chapter in the career of Edoardo Colombi and the racing history of the TAS Racing team. In fact, the Northern Irish outfit has announced that it has formed a partnership with Ducati for the upcoming BSB season. Where the 18-year-old Italian, signed to compete in the Supersport class of the British championship, and the confirmed Rory Skinner, ready to mount the Panigale V4R lined up by the team in the Superbike class, will represent the team.
Havingcome close to winning the 2024 title in the BSB Sportbike class by 1.5 points in his debut year in the championship with the Aprilia RS660 of the Gradara Corse team, young Colombi will now go after a major result in Supersport as well, riding the Panigale V2 lined up by the team headed by Philip Neill.
"I have very much enjoyed my first season on British tracks and to come so close to winning a title was enjoyable and will set me up well for the British Supersport Championship," said Colombi . " To come to a team like TAS Racing with so much history is exciting for me and to be riding the Ducati V2, which I know is a great bike, is also something to look forward to very much. The team has already made me very welcome and I cannot wait to get started on the Cheshire Mouldings Ducati by TAS Racing."
Not only news for the TAS Racing team, but also many confirmations. In fact, the team will continue its partnership with title sponsor Cheshire Mouldings, and with Milwaukee, next season. So will Rory Skinner, who in this year's return to BSB, complicated by an injury, managed to win his first Superbike victory at Knockhill.
"First of all I am delighted to remain in the TAS Racing set up for 2025. We enjoyed a win this season in BSB and with a change of machinery to Ducati for 2025 - a bike that has been a major success in BSB with various riders and team - I firmly believe we can be at the sharp end all year," commented the Scottish rider. “It’s an honour to be representing such a prestigious brand and I’m sure the bike will have a stand out appearance in Cheshire Mouldings Ducati livery, prepared by TAS Racing."
