Superbike Racing 2025 Season
Duncan Perry are proud to sponsor the PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team in the Supersport World Championship for 2025.
In sweltering conditions at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on the weekend of 14th/15th June Tom Booth-Amos delivered a gutsy performance in Race One of the 2025 FIM Supersport World Championship, charging from P8 on the grid to a strong fifth-place finish after 18 intense laps of action.
Launching from the third row, Booth-Amos made a blistering start, immediately gaining ground and moving up to fourth by the first sector. Settling into the lead group, he showed strong pace early on and looked every bit a podium contender.
Midway through the race a fierce on-track battle with Marcel Schrötter cost the British rider valuable time, preventing him from capitalising on his race winning speed. Despite this he fought hard in the closing laps to take fifth at the chequered flag and remains third in the overall Championship.
Tom Booth-Amos: “Fifth so actually it is better than I thought it would be to be honest. I had to work for it but overall felt pretty good just a shame I got stuck behind Marcel and couldn’t get past otherwise I felt like I had podium pace so we’ll try again tomorrow.”
It was a challenging start to round six for teammate Oli Bayliss who was unable to profit from his improved qualifying performance of P12. A tough start saw him shuffled back down the order, dropping to P18 off the start. Struggling with a lack of overall feeling on the bike, the Aussie youngster found it difficult to regain ground in the tightly contested field and eventually crossed the line in 19th place.
Oli Bayliss: “A really difficult day today. I don’t have a lot of feeling in the bike and we’re struggling a lot. We’ll try and figure out what’s going on and have a better day tomorrow.”

PTR Triumph Racing Factory Team Manager Simon Buckmaster: “I was talking to Tom after the race and neither of us had been sure where he was going to finish because it is so tight around here. But, a good start and he actually rode a great race he just got beat up a bit in the middle there, ended up behind Schrötter and Oettl and that is what cost him the chance to challenge for the win. He did get by them towards the end, gapped them and closed on the leaders but there was just no time left so we can see we have the realistic chance of the podium tomorrow. He starts one row further forward tomorrow so everything to go for. Oli started on the fourth row which was much better than in previous races but he messed up the start and then he was eighteenth but the lap time at the end of the race was good enough to be in the points. So, he will lose a grid place tomorrow dropping from 12th to 13th He has the pace to be in the points, he should be in the points and we will do everything we can to get him where we all want him to be.”
The next World Supersport Racing is at Donnington Park on the weekend of 12th/13th July 2025
