Isle of Man TT race winner James Hillier has saved his 2025 superbike and superstock campaign with a rescue deal from former team boss Alan Gardner
Isle of Man TT race winner James Hillier has secured his 2025 superbike and superstock campaign thanks to a rescue deal from former team boss Alan Gardner.
Hillier will now ride the Honda bikes he was originally supposed to race, but in new colors for his own Muc-Off Racing squad.
Gardner’s withdrawal from the TT and British Superbike series had left Hillier and team-mate Dom Herbertson without machinery just weeks before the event.
Both riders will have access to Gardner’s machinery under the last-minute rescue deal.
Hillier expressed gratitude for the support and is focused on filling in the remaining gaps to ensure a competitive performance.
Hillier and Herbertson are relieved to have their participation in the TT secured following the unexpected turn of events.
Both riders will also compete in the supersport class, with Hillier teaming up with Bournemouth Kawasaki and Herbertson running his own team under Herbertson Road Racing Company.
