P❀hil Crowe will b🌞e joined by a new teammate for the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

Crowe Performance is expanding to a two-rider line-up, including tꦡhe team owner.

Maurizio🤡 Bottalico - the San Marino rider who is stepping up from th🍌e Manx Grand Prix - has been added to the team.

B𝔍oth Crowe and Bottalico will race in the Superbike, the Senior TT and the Super♚stock on the BMW M1000RR.

Bottalico is riding 1000cc mac༺hinery for the first time atꦫ the 2025 TT.

H♌e won the best newcomer award at the recent North West 200 with four top-20 finishes.

Crowe🌠, meanwhile, is entering his 10th TT. Last year, he retired early from all three of his races.

He achieved top 10 finishes in 2018 and 2022. His 💙personal best lap is 129.967mph.

Crowe will be targ🔯eting his first 130mph lap, and a 🙈16th top-15 finish.

Phil Crowe: “We’ve been looking to run a two-rider team for some time, but it♛’s all b♔een about finding the right rider and Maurizio ticks all the boxes.

“He’s got good experience now around the Mountain Course with some goo🐟d performa🐓nces at the Manx Grand Prix as well as in the European Hill Climb Championships so will be able to hit the ground running.

“He’s not only taken to t༒he 10🦩00cc bike quickly, but he’s also fitted into the team seamlessly.

“He showed his capabilities at the North West 200 and we’ve both had🌸 good preparation. With regards to my own TT, I’m hoping for luck to be on my side fo♉r a change!

“I’ve ha⛦d three bad years now, for various reasons, with last year being the worst. W🐓e had an engine problem throughout which meant I couldn’t get a flying lap and barely completed any laps at all.

“I know what I can do in ea🅠ch sector though, and I want to be doing 130’s solidly throughout the fortnight. If I do that, the results will take care of themselves.”

Bottalico added: “I’m very excited about my debut at the TT in the 1000 class, and I'm very happy to be able to do it with 𒉰Team Crowe Performance because they ha🐲ve a lot of experience and I'm sure I can learn a lot from them. I can't wait to get started.”
