Skinne𝓡r said: “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.
“It’s an honour to be representing such a prestigious brand and I’m sure the bike will have a stand out appearance in Cheshir﷽e Mouldings Ducati livery, prepared by TAS Racing.”
Skinner claimed a first BSB win at Knockhill this season but his year was d𒐪isrupted by injury.

Colombi said: “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.
“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 some⛄thing to look forward to very much. The team has already mad💛e me very welcome and I cannot wait to get started on the Cheshire Mouldings Ducati by TAS Racing.”
Philip Neill, T﷽eam 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 with t൲his 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 young riders are a perfect combination and together with the proven capabilities of both the Ducati V4 R and V2 machi⛦🍬nery, we are excited for the future.
“None of this would be possible without the support of our commercial partn🥀ers, so to extend o🔯ur title partnership with Cheshire Mouldings and continued support from Milwaukee really is a dream scenario for us.”
