BMW-to-Ducati swap for a BSB team, a major change for 2025
Huge change which will impact Rory Skinner

Ducati have confirmed a new link-up wi🌌th a British Supe♔rbikes Championship team.
TAS Racing will form a new association with Ducati for the 2025 BSB ༒season.
Cheshire Mouldings will remain the ꧑title sponsor forꦏ TAS Racing, while Milwaukee will stay as a valued partner.
But t🌺he team will change their machin☂ery from BMW to Ducati.
Rory Skinner wil🦄l stay with the team for a se🍬cond year into 2025, and will ride the Panigale V4 R.
Skinner said: “First of all I am delighted to remain i🐼n 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 𒁏a major success in BSB with various riders and team – I firmly believe we can be at the sharp end all year.
“It’s an honour to be representing such a prestigious brand and I’m sure the bike will have a stan🍷d out appearance in Cheshire Mouldings Ducati livery, prepared by TAS Racing.”
Skinner claimed a first BSB win at Knockhill this season but his year was൩ disrupted by injury.
Edoardo Colombi,♔ an 18-ꦑyear-old Italian, will represent the team in the Supersport class.
Colombi said: “I have very much enjoyed my first season on🦩 British tracks and to come so close to winnin🔜g a title was enjoyable and will set me up well for the British Supersport Championship.
“To come to a team like TAS ꦛRacing 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.”
Philip Neill, Team Principal, said: “We are extremely happy to announce this new relationship with Ducati. On a personal level I have always admired Ducati and wondered if we might ever have the opportunity to race wit⭕h this iconic brand.
“We are really pleased to continue with Rory for a second year, and also to welcome Edoardo to TAS Racing. I believe these two yo🎃ung riders are a perfect combination and together with the proven capabilities of both the Ducati V4 R and V2 machinery, we are excited for the future.
“None of this would be possible without the support of our commercial partners, so to eꦿxtend our title partnership with Cheshire Mouldings and continued support from Milwaukee really is a dream scenario for us.”
