Duncan Perry are once again proud to sponsor the PTR Triumph Factory Racing Team in the Supersport World Championship for 2026.  

Both Tom Booth-Amos and Oli Bayliss are our riders for a second consecutive season in this class. 

Tom Booth-Amos secured his sixth podium of the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship season with third place in Race Two at Cremona in Italy on the weekend of 26th/27th September 2026 adding another fastest lap to his tally while Oli Bayliss fought back to P13 after starting from the fifth row of the grid.

Booth-Amos returned to the podium at Cremona today with a determined ride to third place in the second World SSP race securing his sixth podium of the season and another fastest lap for the PTR Triumph Racing team.

Starting from pole position after setting the fastest lap in Saturday's opening race, Booth-Amos lost the holeshot to Debise before Arenas moved to the front. The PTR Triumph rider quickly responded, taking second place on Lap 2 before moving into the lead on Lap 11.

Arenas reclaimed the advantage two laps later, before Alcoba joined the fight at the front as he chased a second victory of the weekend. The ensuing battle shuffled Booth-Amos back to third, where he ultimately secured the final podium position.

Managing some arm pump in the closing stages, Booth-Amos elected to consolidate third and bring home valuable championship points. He also set the fastest lap of the race, his sixth fastest lap of the season, underlining the pace of the PTR Triumph machine throughout the weekend.

For Bayliss, Race Two was always going to be a recovery ride after his highside in Saturday's restarted race left him starting from P14. The Australian became caught up in the busy midfield during the early stages and lost ground, but found additional pace as the race progressed to fight his way back through the field and finish P13.

The Cremona weekend therefore concludes with another podium for PTR Triumph Racing, adding to a season that has now delivered six podium finishes for Booth-Amos, with the team continuing to demonstrate its ability to put the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS into contention at the front of the WorldSSP field.

Tom Booth-Amos: “A very good weekend, I felt good in the race especially in the early parts I was very strong. Actually a little bit disappointed to finish third but that’s racing, just struggled with arm pump at the end but overall a good weekend. Thanks to everybody, thanks to the team now we look forward to the last two races and see what I can do then.”

Oli Bayliss: “Obviously not really the weekend we wanted, the speed in race two from mid-race onwards was quite good but after the crash yesterday, getting knocked around a little bit in the first laps, kind of, I don’t want to say ended our race for us but it made it quite difficult and especially at a track like this where everyone’s so close it’s not easy to gain back the time that you have lost.  We have got a good direction to go for in Estoril and hopefully we can make it count..

PTR Triumph Racing Factory Team Manager Simon Buckmaster: “After race two Tom fought for the win, he led the race and he got some arm pump. Turning into a couple of the corners is not a strength of our bike, you have push and work really hard with the bike and he got arm pump so he wasn’t able to win.  He did the right thing, brought home another podium in third place, we still have a chance to be third in the championship and to be second or third in the team’s championship.  Thanks to the team for doing a great job there.  For Oli, he had the crash yesterday, he was a bit stiff, got caught up in the mid-pack early in the race and by the time he got some clear track he was doing decent times but it’s too late.  He kept at it and fought his way back up to P13.  Great job by the team, the bike’s working really good, I’m so proud of the work everyone has done on the development of the bike and, it’s coming to the end and we have already started development on the new bike for Triumph.  So, two rounds to go, let’s see if we can challenge for the win and challenge for the podium with both riders.”

The next race meeting is at Estoril in Portugal on Saturday/Sunday 10th/11th October 2026.
