Former Moto3 rider and race win💧ner John McPhee will make his British Superbike debut in 2025 after signing for the Hawk Racing-run MasterMac Honda squad.

The 30-year-♐old raced full-time in the Moto3 World Championship from 2013 to 2022, scoring♌ four race wins in his tenure.

His maiden victory in the 2016 Czech GP aboard a Peugeot-badged Mahindra saw him become𒆙 Scotland’s first grand prix winner since Bob McIntyre in 1962.

McPhee’s last win came in Malaysia in 2022 with the Max Racing squad before he moved to World Supers🐲port in 2023, scoring a podium in his debut in Australia.

That proved to be the high point for McPhee in WSS, however, with the Scot now set to make his Superbi♎ke debut in BSB next year as Charlie Nesbitt’s team-mate.

“I’ve had the privilege of racing at world level for a long time, and Bennetts BSB presents a n𓃲ew and exciting challenge for me,” McPhee said.

“This championship has everything you want as a rider, with the quality of the racing, the var♏iety of circuits and great support from the fans.

“I’m delighted to be joining one of the most experienced and successful te♕ams on the grid, and can’t wait to get started.”

Nesbitt, a four-tℱime podium finisher at BSB level, will contest his third full seaso♈n next year and hopes to build on the momentum he felt he had in the latter stages of 2024.

“Wi♓th the experience of two full seasons on the Superbike and a great team around me I’m very optimistic about what💛 we can achieve in 2025," he said.

“We hit a really good rhythm in the second half of last season and I felt more and more at home compet🐎ing near the front for the podium places.

“Hopefully we’ll continue the momentu🎐m into the new season and make it our best together s♓o far.”

🔜Hawk Racing team boss Steve Hicken added: “It’s sure to be a competitive championship as always, and I’m very happy to have two high calibre riders o𒊎n board.

“John brings so much valuable experience and ability, although in some ways he’ll be on a steep learning curve too, while Charlie just needs to keep working hard to push ⭕himself towards the top of the leader board more consistently.

“With thanks to MasterMac, our other sponsors and the wider team, we’ll have a competitive package and ai✱m to cause a few su𝔉rprises.”
