WTF Racing, who is owned by OMG Racing, has announced that it will not compete at this year’s Isle of Man TT “due to significant commercial circum🐻stances” beyond its control.

On Tuesday, British Superbike Championship-winning squad OMG Racing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:made the shock announcement that it would be pulling out of the 2025 BSB campaign with immediate effect ꦑdue to unforeseen commercial r🐓easons.

The squad won the title last y💃ear with Kyle Ryde in BSB and has netted Yamaha two championships in the series during their partnership.

Last year, OMG Racin🌞g rebranded itself as WTF Racing to compete on the roads with James Hillier.

Hillier campaigned Honda machinery in the big bike classes for the team, scoring a best of fourth in the Senꩲior TT.

For 2025, the team had added Dominic Herbertson to its line-up, with theꦦ popular English💝man looking to build on his Supertwin podium from last year when he competed as a privateer.

But these plans have now been shelved, according to a team announcement 🔜in the wak⛦e of the OMG Racing news.

“Thanks to their success in 2024, the team were set for a strong showing at this year’s&nbs𒉰p;North West 200 & Isle of Man TT thanks to the pairing of TT-winner James Hillier & Dominic Herbertson, who podiumed last year as a privateer.

“More to follow.”

The WTF Rac♊ing team also took part in this year’s Dakar Rally with Hillier, becoming the first outfit ever to compete at both the famous rally raid and the TT.

A spokesperson for the Isle of Man TT said of the news: "The WTF Racing team will be missed by the TT Paddock this year, and we had been looking forward to seeing their expanded line-up 🍃for 2025.
