Lucca Allen is returning to the BSB paddock in 2026 after inking a deal to join MPR Racing aboard a Suzuki in the British Sportbike Championship.

Lucca was a front runner in GP2 before competing last year in the MotoAmerica Supersport series – where he became the first British rider to score points in the series – is excited about the season ahead and his chances of fighting for the title.

The team will begin testing shortly and have already confirmed that they will take part in the British round of the FIM Superbike World Championship at Donington Park in July where the Sportbike category will act as a support class – with four non-championship races scheduled to take place over the weekend.

For the upcoming 2026 season Lucca will race with the number #77.

Lucca Allen: “It’s wicked to be coming back to the British Superbike paddock this year. The series is like a big family, and it feels a bit like I’m coming home. I cannot thank my manager Michael Hill and everyone at MPR Racing for this amazing opportunity. I will be riding a Suzuki GSX8-R in the British Sportbike Championship, and I just know it’s going to be a great year. We have a lot of good people around us, and I know we have the potential to run at the front and potentially even fight for the title which is nice as it’s been a while since I have had the chance to do that. I look forward to seeing everyone at round one. Thanks again to everyone who has made this happen, you know who you are, but I do want to thank mum and dad for continuing to allow me to chase my dream.”
