Blaze Baker, a double South African Supersport Champion, is set to make his BSB debut in 2🐭025.

That’s thanks to a new deal between himself and the NP Racing Hond﷽a team, who have captured Baker’s signature for his first season in the top class of the British Championship.

Baker has previous experience in the BSB paddock, having raced the one-make Ducati TriOptions Cup in 2023 until he was forced out through𝄹 injury, and more recently in the Supersport class.

“I am first of all thrilled to be🌄 back on a motorcycle,” Baker said🤪.

“The last 18 months have probably been the worst in my career so far, but t🌌here is always light at the end of the tunnel.

“I am excited to announce that I will be back on a bike next season and in BSB. This has been a dream of mine for a long time now and to finally be able to say I'll be racing Superbikes gi🌱ves me the biggest smile.

“For sure it will be a tou♋gh task, but it's somethiꦡng that excites me. A challenge lies ahead for myself and the whole NP Racing crew with a change of manufacturer, but it will be exciting to work with the new programme and a change for the both of us.

“We have set out goals and look forward to achieving them as a team and really looking fo🍰rward to what lies ahead for us in 2025. I can𒁃not thank NP Racing enough for this opportunity.”

NP Racing team owner Neil Pearson added: “NP Racing are excited to announce th൩at Blaze Baker will be joining our racing family.🃏 After achieving what we set out to in 2024, we now look forward to setting new goals for the 2025 season.

“With a change of manufacturer, it going to b♍e 🅘a tall order, but we are focused on progressing and giving Blaze what he needs for his debut season in the Superbike class.”
