Darryn Binder Joins Celtic / Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati for 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport Season
Celtic Racing and Warhorse HSBK Racing return to the MotoAmerica Supersport championship in 2026 with a two-rider program under the banner Celtic/Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati. Led by longtime team principal Barry Gilsenan, the lineup welcomes Darryn Binder (#15), who enters the championship after three seasons in the Moto2 World Championship and a rare direct leap from Moto3 to MotoGP earlier in his career. Binder brings world-class racecraft, Grand Prix experience, and proven speed to the Ducati Panigale V2 platform. He will be joined by Wristin Grigg (#227), who enters his sophomore year aboard Ducati V2 machinery.
Darryn Binder is coming to America to race a Ducati in MotoAmerica Supersport.
Binder arrives with a strong international resume that includes a Moto3 Grand Prix victory, six career Moto3 podiums, three Moto3 poles, and points-scoring performances in MotoGP during his year with the RNF Yamaha program. In 2023 and 2024, he raced in Moto2 with Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP before signing with Italjet Gresini Moto2 for the 2025 season. While his 2025 campaign was cut short by a late-season ulna injury, he delivered several points-scoring rides and finished with 19 championship points. Binder is widely recognized for his aggressive race craft, resilience, and ability to adapt quickly to new machinery.
“I am very excited to start this new chapter with Celtic Racing, Economy Lube and Tire, and Warhorse HSBK Ducati,” Binder said. “My journey through Moto3, MotoGP, and Moto2 has taught me a lot, and I feel ready to bring all of that experience into MotoAmerica. The Panigale V2 is a bike with proven speed and championship history, and I cannot wait to get to work with the team. The goal is simple. I want to race at the front, enjoy the battle, and build something strong for the future. I am grateful for the opportunity and for the confidence the team has shown in me, and I am fully motivated to make the most of this season.”
Grigg made an impressive 2024 debut in the MotoAmerica Supersport Series, earning several strong finishes, including an 11th at Mid-Ohio and a personal best 9th at New Jersey. Grigg’s rookie year also featured two expert National Titles at Daytona, highlighted by his AMA 600 Title victory, which underscored his adaptability and potential on road courses. With factory-level Ducati support and continued backing from Grigg Electric and Economy Lube and Tire, the team expects continued growth in Grigg’s performance as he builds on the experience aboard the V2. The objective for 2026 is to develop consistent top ten speed while progressing toward podium contention in the middle portion of the season.
Gilsenan expresses strong confidence in the new structure and emphasizes the positive impact of adding an internationally experienced racer like Binder while continuing to invest in emerging American talent.
“Bringing Darryn into our Supersport program is a major step for our team. He has raced at the highest levels of the sport, including MotoGP and Moto2, and knows how to fight in very competitive fields. His experience, his attitude, and his natural speed will help raise the level of the entire program. Pairing him with Wristin, who continues to grow and has already shown real promise, gives us an exciting lineup for 2026. Our partnership with Economy Lube and Tire and Warhorse HSBK Ducati continues to strengthen, and we are entering the new season fully committed to chasing wins. We are proud to welcome Darryn and proud to support Wristin as we move Celtic Racing forward.”
The team has a clear objective for 2026: challenge for race wins, podiums, and the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.
About Warhorse HSBK Racing
Founded in 2011, HSBK Racing partnered with powersports dealer group Warhorse Group in 2020 to bring Ducati back to the forefront of MotoAmerica. The team earned a symbolic victory in its first season with Lorenzo Zanetti before building on a successful 2020 and taking fourth in the championship in 2021 with Loris Baz. In 2022, Warhorse HSBK Racing secured the talents of MotoGP race winner Danilo Petrucci and expanded into the Supersport series with AMA race winner Josh Herrin. The pair earned 32 podiums and 14 wins, securing the Supersport title and narrowly missing the Superbike crown. In 2023, Herrin moved to Superbike, earning three victories and finishing second in the title race. In Supersport, the team brought in Xavi Fores, who dominated the season while securing the championship. In 2024, the team expanded to a two-bike Superbike line-up with Herrin being joined by returning star Loris Baz. Herrin would go on to win the 2024 Superbike title.

TRACKER 400: FLAT TRACK STYLE FOR THE ROAD
The new Tracker 400 draws inspiration from flat track racing, capturing the raw, stripped-back aesthetic and competitive spirit synonymous with this class, channeling the style and attitude of bikes built for the oval dirt track.
Stripped Back Attitude
Designed to stand out in the crowd, the Tracker 400 combines race-inspired styling with aggressive lines for an unmistakable flat track silhouette. Classic Triumph design cues and the iconic engine profile make this a true Modern Classic.
The tracker-style fuel tank, with its sculpted knee cut-outs, pairs seamlessly with the fly screen and color-coded seat cowl and the dual-spoke wheels with blocky dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS tires, deliver a bold, sporty stance. As a Triumph Modern Classic, it features the signature engine profile with powder-coated covers and bright-machined cylinder head fins. That unmistakable Triumph DNA runs throughout, with a classic round LED headlight up front and flowing twin upswept silencers at the rear.
The Tracker 400 is offered in three striking race-inspired color schemes, each showcasing bold Tracker lettering on the fuel tank, set against sleek racing stripes with dramatic mud-splatter detailing that extends seamlessly onto the seat cowl. A distinctive number board proudly displaying ‘400’ pays tribute to legendary flat track racers.
The Aluminum Silver Gloss scheme is accented with Racing Red graphics across the fuel tank,seat cowl, number board, and wheels. Racing Yellow delivers a vibrant statement with its bold yellow tank and seat cowl, contrasted by Phantom Black elements and Racing Yellow highlights on the number board and wheels. For a darker, more aggressive look, Phantom Black combines moody black with Dark Silver, Vanilla White, and Pearl Metallic White accents across the tank, cowl, number board, and wheels.

An Enhanced Riding Position
Upright and elbows out – that’s the essence of Flat Track style. Wider handlebars, set at .9 in. (23mm) broader and 5.3 in. (134mm) lower than those on the Speed 400 to enhance the bike’s dynamic stance. Footpegs are repositioned 3.4 in. (86mm) further back and 1 in. (27mm) higher, creating a confident, aggressive posture. These ergonomics ensure that the Tracker 400 rides exactly how it looks, with bold and commanding presence.
Engineered for fun, sporty performance, the Tracker 400 has a dedicated chassis and premium suspension set-up. Up front, black anodized 1.7 in. (43mm) upside-down big piston forks offer 5.5 in. (140mm) of travel, while the rear gas monoshock RSU provides 5.1 in. (130mm) of travel with preload adjustment for two-up riding. Dual-purpose tires with a blocky tread pattern complete the look, offering flat track style with road-focused grip and handling.
The Tracker 400 integrates advanced rider technology without compromising its classic aesthetic. A seat height of 3.7 in. (805mm) with features like torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control, and ABS make the ride accessible and enjoyable. A contemporary single-dial analogue speedometer paired with a digital tachometer delivers essential information at a glance, with all wiring neatly hidden to preserve the clean, timeless Triumph look.

Exciting and Characterful Engine
The latest model features a new and more powerful iteration of Triumph’s class leading TR series engine. This has been achieved through a combination of new mechanical parts, including a revised camshaft profile, along with a new engine tune. This results in a five percent increase in peak power, now producing 41.4 HP (42PS) peak power at 9,000 RPM, with a higher rev limit and stronger peak power at the top of the rev range. This allows the Tracker 400 to rev harder and higher, for an exhilarating and addictive throttle response that encourages the rider to exploit the performance available and ride this bike with the attitude it deserves.
The enhanced engine also retains the 27.7 ft-lbs (37.5Nm) of peak torque, with 80 percent of this available from 3,000 RPM, offering that linear, torque rich performance that adapts to any riding scenario. The ride by wire throttle ensures intuitive throttle response all the way through the six-speed gear box.

Attention to Detail
Triumph Motorcycles is committed to delivering exceptional performance and uncompromising quality – and the Tracker 400 is no exception. Built from premium components and precision-crafted parts, every detail is designed to optimize performance and elevate the riding experience.
Powerful four-piston radial calipers deliver strong, progressive braking performance, complemented by robust cast aluminum wheels and a swingarm that add strength and sophistication to the Tracker’s design. From the upside-down forks providing high-performance suspension, to the precision-machined cooling fins, Triumph’s meticulous attention to detail ensures a clean, uncluttered finish with no exposed wires, cables, or hoses to spoil the bike’s classic look. This attention to detail extends to the Tracker 400’s flawless paintwork, delivering a finish that exudes precision and quality.
THE REVIVAL OF THE THRUXTON NAME
The legendary Thruxton name makes its return with the all-new Thruxton 400, a modern interpretation of an icon that defined an era. Celebrated for its unmistakable cafe racer attitude and racing heritage, a Thruxton has always embodied style, performance, and character. Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering.

Head Turning Cafe Racer Design
The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the color-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line.
Four vibrant color schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matte Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminum finish badge bearing the Thruxton name.
The Phantom Black and Aluminum scheme features wide diagonal stripes of color across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl. The Pearl Metallic White and Storm Grey paint scheme includes flashes of Caribbean Blue on the seat cowl and fairing, while the Metallic Racing Yellow with Aluminum Silver design features a Metallic Racing Yellow fairing with Phantom Black accents and Aluminum stripes that carry through on the fuel tank and seat cowl.

An All-new Sportier Ride
With optimized ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 1.6 in (40mm) narrower and 9.7 in (246mm) lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 3.4 in (86mm) further back and 1.1 in (27mm) higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture.
Black anodized 1.7 in (43mm) upside-down big piston forks with 5.3 in (135mm) of travel optimized for sporty poise and response, and a preload-adjustable gas mono-shock rear suspension unit with 5.1 in (130mm) wheel travel, enhancing the bike’s agility and control for a more focused ride. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tiresoffer a sporty and grippy feel, ensuring confidence in every corner.
Just like the rest of the 400 range, the latest rider technology is seamlessly integrated into the Thruxton 400, with an analogue speedometer and an LCD tachometer display with USB-C charging port. A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence.

Exciting and Characterful Engine
Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.
Trademark Triumph Quality
From the new polished Monza-style fuel cap to Thruxton’s meticulous paintwork, every element of the design reflects Triumph’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and premium quality. Each detail has been thoughtfully engineered and finished to the highest standards, creating a motorcycle that blends striking aesthetics with technical precision.
The engine features machined cooling fins contributing towards its clean, uncluttered profile, while the stylish and lightweight cast aluminum wheels and four-piston radial caliper deliver both style and performance, seamlessly blending form and function in true Thruxton style.

It’s how a sportsman deals with adversity that defines championship-winning potential and that’s just the steely character that father-and-son racers Tony and Mitch Rees are showing right now.
It was a difficult weekend for the Honda team-mates and “sometimes rivals” from the Bay of Plenty as the two men tackled the second round of three in the big annual Suzuki International Series in the Manawatu at the weekend.
Defending series champion Mitch Rees and his father Tony Rees were ranked No.1 and No.2 in the three-round series after the opening stanza in Taupo just over a week ago.
But now, after a tough couple of tough days of racing at round two at the Manfeild circuit, on the outskirts of Feilding, both riders have haemorrhaged vital points, trimming their advantage significantly.
Mitch Rees slid off his Honda CBR1000RR-R and failed to finish race one at Manfeild on Saturday, while Tony Rees crashed his distinctive red bike in the third and final F1 race on Sunday.
With an inflamed ankle, Tony Rees did not line up for the re-start.
The dynamic duo from Whakatane are now first and third in the standings for the premier formula one/superbikes class.
Consistency from fast-improving Upper Hutt rider Rogan Chandler has earned him the No.2 position in the F1 standings and he is now just three points adrift of Mitch Rees.
It’s obviously a true family affair with Mitch Rees, who turns 33 in three days’ time, and his 58-year-old dad Tony both still well-positioned to again make it an eventual Rees Honda Team 1-2 in this popular Christmastime competition.
Tony Rees just needs to get back past Rogan Chandler at the final round on the public streets of Whanganui in less than two weeks’ time.
With two of three rounds now under his wheels, Mitch Rees knows that, barring further disaster, he’s on track to make it five F1/superbike class titles in a row in this series. He won this premier class title in 2020, 2022, 2023 and also in 2024 (the series was not run in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
“I guess it will make the final round in Whanganui pretty exciting for the fans,” said Mitch Rees.
“Tony and I have dominated the racing so far, but riders such as Rogan (Chandler) and Luca (Durning) have been pushing pretty hard. It has certainly made the competition interesting.
“Dad doesn’t have anything to prove and, later this week, I’m sure he’ll make the decision about whether he races at Whanganui or not.
“We have accumulated a lot of crutches and moon boots over the years you know,”he laughed.
The Rees men have between them won all F1 races in this 2025 series thus far, although that is plainly tempered by the fact they have each also now suffered a non-finish race.
The series will wrap up, as usual, in Whanganui on Boxing Day, including the Robert Holden Memorial feature race, a prestigious race that was won by Mitch Rees in 2022, 2023 and last year too, by his late brother Damon Rees in 2020 and by their father Tony on seven occasions (between 1990 and 2016).
Leaders after the second round of three in the 2025 Suzuki International Series at Manfeild at the weekend are:
Yamaha Motor Corporation is proud to announce the outstanding performance of its U.S. representatives at the prestigious 2025 Yamaha World Technician Grand Prix, held November 18–21 at Yamaha’s global headquarters in Iwata, Japan.

The six well-balanced events, one per month, will be organised by FIM together with major international and national motorcycle events.
The first round will take place during the 24 Hours Moto in Le Mans, continuing the now-usual start of the Sidecar season as a support race at one of the world’s most famous circuits and events.
The second round will bring the sidecar paddock to the Adriatic coast at Grobnik Rijeka. For many years, this circuit has demonstrated its support and enthusiasm for sidecar racing. This round will take place concurrently with the Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship.
For the third round, the sidecar teams will head to the Pau-Arnos circuit in southwestern France. This will be the first time the FIM puts its wheels on this recently renovated and resurfaced track. The round will take place alongside the FSBK.
Cremona in Italy, having hosted a round of the FIM World Superbike Championship in recent years, will welcome the sidecar racers for the fourth round.
The final two rounds will, as in previous years, be combined with BSB at Assen in the Netherlandsand the Sidecar Festival at Oschersleben in Germany, giving teams the opportunity to earn decisive points in the final stretch of the season.
We expect the 2026 FIM Sidecar World Championship to deliver plenty of emotion and entertainment to the sidecar community and beyond.
“If you’ve checked out last week’s episode, you’ll know that it was Jeremy Burgess who first described riders as ‘flickering lightbulbs’. Why? Because the moment they start to fail, you just replace them with a new one.
Cruel, yes, but that’s MotoGP for you. You can be one of the twenty fastest riders alive – but all that matters is that you’re always just a little slower than the next guy. You’ve been demoted to dead wood, to borrow another term from Burgesss. Good luck, and goodbye!
So maybe you’re one of those riders who didn’t appear last episode. Maybe you thought this meant you were safe.
Bad luck, buddy: that means Mat and Peter just haven’t gotten to you yet!”
– The Oxley Bom MotoGP Podcast, Flickering Lightbulbs 2
It is incredibly tight at the top after the second round of three in the 2025 Suzuki International Series in the Manawatu at the weekend.
And now the popular motorcycling competition is headed for a much-anticipated finale on the public streets of Whanganui’s world-renowned Cemetery Circuit in just 12 days’ time, on December 26, with racing sure to go right down to the final chequered flag in several of the bike categories.
The tightest of all is the formula one sidecars class where Tokomaru’s Barry Smith, with Whanganui co-pilot Louise Blythe, and Panmure’s Adam Unsworth, with Whanganui co-pilot Bryce Rose, are level on points after the weekend’s two days of racing at Manfeild, on the outskirts of Feilding.
Two of the leading riders in the formula one/superbike class each suffered crashes in separate incidents at Manfeild, Bay of Plenty’s defending champion and class leader Mitch Rees sliding from his bike while leading the F1 race on Saturday, while his father, multi-time former champion Tony Rees, crashed out of race three on Sunday afternoon and, with an ankle injury, he opted not to line up for the re-start.
Consistency from the fast-improving Rogan Chandler, from Upper Hutt, earned him the No.2 position in the F1 standings and he is now just three points adrift of Whakatane man Mitch Rees. As for 58-year-old ‘elder statesman’ Tony Rees, he has slipped to third in the rankings, although he is only 11 points behind Chandler.
One of the most impressive riders in the series so far has been Silverdale teenager Tyler King.

The 19-year-old holds the lead in two of the competition’s 13 bike categories – he is on top in both the formula three and supersport 300 classes – and his current form and momentum will likely see him remain there.
Whanganui’s Richie Dibben has been untouchable this season, the national supermoto champion taking his lightly-modified Suzuki RM-Z450 motocross bike to qualify fastest at both Taupo’s round one and at round two in Feilding and then winning all six races contested, one of them a from-last-to-first masterclass performance.
Started in 2008, this year’s 17th annual Suzuki International Series – it skipped a year in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic – climaxes as usual with the post-Christmas public street race event on Whanganui’s famous Cemetery Circuit on Boxing Day.
Leaders after the second round of three in the 2025 Suzuki International Series at Manfeild at the weekend are: Whakatane’s Mitch Rees (formula one); Auckland’s Cameron Leslie (formula two/supersport 600); Silverdale’s Tyler King (formula three); Silverdale’s Tyler King (supersport 300); Paraparaumu’s Richard Markham-Barrett (formula sport, senior, over-600cc); Feilding’s Jordan Walters (formula sport, junior, up to 600cc); Auckland’s Paul Pavletich (Pre 89 post classics, senior, over-600cc); Auckland’s Scott Findlay (Pre 89, post classics junior, under-600cc); Upper Hutt’s Kieran Mair (Pre 95, post classics senior, over-600cc); Te Awanga’s Eddie Kattenberg (Pre 95, post classics junior, under-600cc); Tokomaru’s Barry Smith/ Whanganui’s Louise Blythe and Panmure’s Adam Unsworth/Whanganui’s Bryce Rose (F1 sidecars) first equal; Whanganui’s Tracey Bryan & Jo Franzen (F2 sidecars); Whanganui’s Richie Dibben (supermoto).

In early December, Révész Racing’s Hungarian-American talent took part in a comprehensive HRV assessment and a performance stress test in Budapest. Based on the results, doctors confirmed what had already been evident from his on-track performances: Rossi is in excellent physical condition, with strong recovery capacity, and possesses a psycho-emotional profile perfectly suited to elite sport.
This week, Dr. Marco Casarotti—psychologist, psychotherapist, trainer, and advisor at the Ferrari Academy Training Center—worked with Rossi in a two-day mental and performance program designed for top athletes.
Dr. Casarotti focuses on peak performance in both professional and sporting environments. He earned his Ph.D. in cognitive science at the University of Padua, conducting innovative research in cognitive processes, spatial attention, and neural modeling. He currently serves as a consultant to the Ferrari Driver Academy, where he develops performance-enhancing training programs. In addition, he works as a corporate trainer specializing in leadership, communication, and organizational change. His expertise extends to biofeedback, neurofeedback, and team coaching, further strengthening his role in integrating neurological principles with practical growth strategies.
Rossi completed every assessment: debriefing, gym training, cognitive evaluation, psychophysiological tests, cortical assessment, balance testing, breathing protocols, cognitive training, and sports psychology coaching. It is a program that challenges even the strongest athletes.
Rossi not only completed the program but impressed everyone involved. At the end of the second day, in recognition of his attitude and performance throughout, Dr. Casarotti surprised him with a special reward: five laps in the Formula 4 simulator on the Imola circuit. Just five laps. And yet his performance was so remarkable that when he stepped out of the simulator, the stunned silence spoke volumes.
His innate talent, instinct, and precision were unmistakable.
For us, the 2026 season has already begun. Every day we are working to ensure Rossi is in the best possible shape for the year ahead. His performance at the Ferrari Academy Training Center once again made it clear: Rossi is a true, rare talent.
And in 2026, we will make sure the world sees it on track.

Darryn Binder Joins Celtic / Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati for 2026 MotoAmerica Supersport Season
Celtic Racing and Warhorse HSBK Racing return to the MotoAmerica Supersport championship in 2026 with a two-rider program under the banner Celtic/Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati. Led by longtime team principal Barry Gilsenan, the lineup welcomes Darryn Binder (#15), who enters the championship after three seasons in the Moto2 World Championship and a rare direct leap from Moto3 to MotoGP earlier in his career. Binder brings world-class racecraft, Grand Prix experience, and proven speed to the Ducati Panigale V2 platform. He will be joined by Wristin Grigg (#227), who enters his sophomore year aboard Ducati V2 machinery.
Darryn Binder is coming to America to race a Ducati in MotoAmerica Supersport.
Binder arrives with a strong international resume that includes a Moto3 Grand Prix victory, six career Moto3 podiums, three Moto3 poles, and points-scoring performances in MotoGP during his year with the RNF Yamaha program. In 2023 and 2024, he raced in Moto2 with Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP before signing with Italjet Gresini Moto2 for the 2025 season. While his 2025 campaign was cut short by a late-season ulna injury, he delivered several points-scoring rides and finished with 19 championship points. Binder is widely recognized for his aggressive race craft, resilience, and ability to adapt quickly to new machinery.
“I am very excited to start this new chapter with Celtic Racing, Economy Lube and Tire, and Warhorse HSBK Ducati,” Binder said. “My journey through Moto3, MotoGP, and Moto2 has taught me a lot, and I feel ready to bring all of that experience into MotoAmerica. The Panigale V2 is a bike with proven speed and championship history, and I cannot wait to get to work with the team. The goal is simple. I want to race at the front, enjoy the battle, and build something strong for the future. I am grateful for the opportunity and for the confidence the team has shown in me, and I am fully motivated to make the most of this season.”
Grigg made an impressive 2024 debut in the MotoAmerica Supersport Series, earning several strong finishes, including an 11th at Mid-Ohio and a personal best 9th at New Jersey. Grigg’s rookie year also featured two expert National Titles at Daytona, highlighted by his AMA 600 Title victory, which underscored his adaptability and potential on road courses. With factory-level Ducati support and continued backing from Grigg Electric and Economy Lube and Tire, the team expects continued growth in Grigg’s performance as he builds on the experience aboard the V2. The objective for 2026 is to develop consistent top ten speed while progressing toward podium contention in the middle portion of the season.
Gilsenan expresses strong confidence in the new structure and emphasizes the positive impact of adding an internationally experienced racer like Binder while continuing to invest in emerging American talent.
“Bringing Darryn into our Supersport program is a major step for our team. He has raced at the highest levels of the sport, including MotoGP and Moto2, and knows how to fight in very competitive fields. His experience, his attitude, and his natural speed will help raise the level of the entire program. Pairing him with Wristin, who continues to grow and has already shown real promise, gives us an exciting lineup for 2026. Our partnership with Economy Lube and Tire and Warhorse HSBK Ducati continues to strengthen, and we are entering the new season fully committed to chasing wins. We are proud to welcome Darryn and proud to support Wristin as we move Celtic Racing forward.”
The team has a clear objective for 2026: challenge for race wins, podiums, and the MotoAmerica Supersport Championship.
About Warhorse HSBK Racing
Founded in 2011, HSBK Racing partnered with powersports dealer group Warhorse Group in 2020 to bring Ducati back to the forefront of MotoAmerica. The team earned a symbolic victory in its first season with Lorenzo Zanetti before building on a successful 2020 and taking fourth in the championship in 2021 with Loris Baz. In 2022, Warhorse HSBK Racing secured the talents of MotoGP race winner Danilo Petrucci and expanded into the Supersport series with AMA race winner Josh Herrin. The pair earned 32 podiums and 14 wins, securing the Supersport title and narrowly missing the Superbike crown. In 2023, Herrin moved to Superbike, earning three victories and finishing second in the title race. In Supersport, the team brought in Xavi Fores, who dominated the season while securing the championship. In 2024, the team expanded to a two-bike Superbike line-up with Herrin being joined by returning star Loris Baz. Herrin would go on to win the 2024 Superbike title.
About Celtic Racing
Established in 2001 by Barry Gilsenan, Celtic Racing has solidified its reputation as a premier privateer racing team. The program began with two-stroke development in the 125cc and 250cc categories before transitioning into AMA Pro Racing, where it found success from Superbike to Supersport. In recent years, Celtic Racing has focused on Sportbike and Supersport classes with Ducati, Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha four-stroke platforms. Gilsenan’s ability to identify and nurture talent has helped riders advance to MotoGP, World Supersport, British Superbike, and MotoAmerica Superbike competition.

TRACKER 400: FLAT TRACK STYLE FOR THE ROAD
The new Tracker 400 draws inspiration from flat track racing, capturing the raw, stripped-back aesthetic and competitive spirit synonymous with this class, channeling the style and attitude of bikes built for the oval dirt track.
Stripped Back Attitude
Designed to stand out in the crowd, the Tracker 400 combines race-inspired styling with aggressive lines for an unmistakable flat track silhouette. Classic Triumph design cues and the iconic engine profile make this a true Modern Classic.
The tracker-style fuel tank, with its sculpted knee cut-outs, pairs seamlessly with the fly screen and color-coded seat cowl and the dual-spoke wheels with blocky dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS tires, deliver a bold, sporty stance. As a Triumph Modern Classic, it features the signature engine profile with powder-coated covers and bright-machined cylinder head fins. That unmistakable Triumph DNA runs throughout, with a classic round LED headlight up front and flowing twin upswept silencers at the rear.
The Tracker 400 is offered in three striking race-inspired color schemes, each showcasing bold Tracker lettering on the fuel tank, set against sleek racing stripes with dramatic mud-splatter detailing that extends seamlessly onto the seat cowl. A distinctive number board proudly displaying ‘400’ pays tribute to legendary flat track racers.
The Aluminum Silver Gloss scheme is accented with Racing Red graphics across the fuel tank,seat cowl, number board, and wheels. Racing Yellow delivers a vibrant statement with its bold yellow tank and seat cowl, contrasted by Phantom Black elements and Racing Yellow highlights on the number board and wheels.

An Enhanced Riding Position
Upright and elbows out – that’s the essence of Flat Track style. Wider handlebars, set at .9 in. (23mm) broader and 5.3 in. (134mm) lower than those on the Speed 400 to enhance the bike’s dynamic stance. Footpegs are repositioned 3.4 in. (86mm) further back and 1 in. (27mm) higher, creating a confident, aggressive posture. These ergonomics ensure that the Tracker 400 rides exactly how it looks, with bold and commanding presence.
Engineered for fun, sporty performance, the Tracker 400 has a dedicated chassis and premium suspension set-up. Up front, black anodized 1.7 in. (43mm) upside-down big piston forks offer 5.5 in. (140mm) of travel, while the rear gas monoshock RSU provides 5.1 in. (130mm) of travel with preload adjustment for two-up riding. Dual-purpose tires with a blocky tread pattern complete the look, offering flat track style with road-focused grip and handling.
The Tracker 400 integrates advanced rider technology without compromising its classic aesthetic. A seat height of 3.7 in. (805mm) with features like torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control, and ABS make the ride accessible and enjoyable. A contemporary single-dial analogue speedometer paired with a digital tachometer delivers essential information at a glance, with all wiring neatly hidden to preserve the clean, timeless Triumph look.

Exciting and Characterful Engine
The latest model features a new and more powerful iteration of Triumph’s class leading TR series engine. This has been achieved through a combination of new mechanical parts, including a revised camshaft profile, along with a new engine tune. This results in a five percent increase in peak power, now producing 41.4 HP (42PS) peak power at 9,000 RPM, with a higher rev limit and stronger peak power at the top of the rev range. This allows the Tracker 400 to rev harder and higher, for an exhilarating and addictive throttle response that encourages the rider to exploit the performance available and ride this bike with the attitude it deserves.
The enhanced engine also retains the 27.7 ft-lbs (37.5Nm) of peak torque, with 80 percent of this available from 3,000 RPM, offering that linear, torque rich performance that adapts to any riding scenario. The ride by wire throttle ensures intuitive throttle response all the way through the six-speed gear box.

Attention to Detail
Triumph Motorcycles is committed to delivering exceptional performance and uncompromising quality – and the Tracker 400 is no exception. Built from premium components and precision-crafted parts, every detail is designed to optimize performance and elevate the riding experience.
Powerful four-piston radial calipers deliver strong, progressive braking performance, complemented by robust cast aluminum wheels and a swingarm that add strength and sophistication to the Tracker’s design. From the upside-down forks providing high-performance suspension, to the precision-machined cooling fins, Triumph’s meticulous attention to detail ensures a clean, uncluttered finish with no exposed wires, cables, or hoses to spoil the bike’s classic look. This attention to detail extends to the Tracker 400’s flawless paintwork, delivering a finish that exudes precision and quality.
THE REVIVAL OF THE THRUXTON NAME
The legendary Thruxton name makes its return with the all-new Thruxton 400, a modern interpretation of an icon that defined an era. Celebrated for its unmistakable cafe racer attitude and racing heritage, a Thruxton has always embodied style, performance, and character. Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering.

Head Turning Cafe Racer Design
The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the color-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line.
Four vibrant color schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matte Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminum finish badge bearing the Thruxton name.
The Phantom Black and Aluminum scheme features wide diagonal stripes of color across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl.

An All-new Sportier Ride
With optimized ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 1.6 in (40mm) narrower and 9.7 in (246mm) lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 3.4 in (86mm) further back and 1.1 in (27mm) higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture.
Black anodized 1.7 in (43mm) upside-down big piston forks with 5.3 in (135mm) of travel optimized for sporty poise and response, and a preload-adjustable gas mono-shock rear suspension unit with 5.1 in (130mm) wheel travel, enhancing the bike’s agility and control for a more focused ride. Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tiresoffer a sporty and grippy feel, ensuring confidence in every corner.
Just like the rest of the 400 range, the latest rider technology is seamlessly integrated into the Thruxton 400, with an analogue speedometer and an LCD tachometer display with USB-C charging port. A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence.

Exciting and Characterful Engine
Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.
Trademark Triumph Quality
From the new polished Monza-style fuel cap to Thruxton’s meticulous paintwork, every element of the design reflects Triumph’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and premium quality. Each detail has been thoughtfully engineered and finished to the highest standards, creating a motorcycle that blends striking aesthetics with technical precision.
The engine features machined cooling fins contributing towards its clean, uncluttered profile, while the stylish and lightweight cast aluminum wheels and four-piston radial caliper deliver both style and performance, seamlessly blending form and function in true Thruxton style.

Whakatane’s defending champion Mitch Rees (Honda CBR1000RR-R No.1) leads his 58-year-old father Tony Rees (11) and Upper Hutt’s Rogan Chandler (15) through turn one in the premier formula one/superbikes class at Manfeild at the weekend. Photo by Andy McGechan / courtesy BikesportNZ.com
It’s how a sportsman deals with adversity that defines championship-winning potential and that’s just the steely character that father-and-son racers Tony and Mitch Rees are showing right now.
It was a difficult weekend for the Honda team-mates and “sometimes rivals” from the Bay of Plenty as the two men tackled the second round of three in the big annual Suzuki International Series in the Manawatu at the weekend.
Defending series champion Mitch Rees and his father Tony Rees were ranked No.1 and No.2 in the three-round series after the opening stanza in Taupo just over a week ago.
But now, after a tough couple of tough days of racing at round two at the Manfeild circuit, on the outskirts of Feilding, both riders have haemorrhaged vital points, trimming their advantage significantly.
Mitch Rees slid off his Honda CBR1000RR-R and failed to finish race one at Manfeild on Saturday, while Tony Rees crashed his distinctive red bike in the third and final F1 race on Sunday.
With an inflamed ankle, Tony Rees did not line up for the re-start.
The dynamic duo from Whakatane are now first and third in the standings for the premier formula one/superbikes class.
Consistency from fast-improving Upper Hutt rider Rogan Chandler has earned him the No.2 position in the F1 standings and he is now just three points adrift of Mitch Rees.
It’s obviously a true family affair with Mitch Rees, who turns 33 in three days’ time, and his 58-year-old dad Tony both still well-positioned to again make it an eventual Rees Honda Team 1-2 in this popular Christmastime competition.
Tony Rees just needs to get back past Rogan Chandler at the final round on the public streets of Whanganui in less than two weeks’ time.
With two of three rounds now under his wheels, Mitch Rees knows that, barring further disaster, he’s on track to make it five F1/superbike class titles in a row in this series. He won this premier class title in 2020, 2022, 2023 and also in 2024 (the series was not run in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
“I guess it will make the final round in Whanganui pretty exciting for the fans,” said Mitch Rees.
“Tony and I have dominated the racing so far, but riders such as Rogan (Chandler) and Luca (Durning) have been pushing pretty hard. It has certainly made the competition interesting.
“Dad doesn’t have anything to prove and, later this week, I’m sure he’ll make the decision about whether he races at Whanganui or not.
“We have accumulated a lot of crutches and moon boots over the years you know,”he laughed.
The Rees men have between them won all F1 races in this 2025 series thus far, although that is plainly tempered by the fact they have each also now suffered a non-finish race.
The series will wrap up, as usual, in Whanganui on Boxing Day, including the Robert Holden Memorial feature race, a prestigious race that was won by Mitch Rees in 2022, 2023 and last year too, by his late brother Damon Rees in 2020 and by their father Tony on seven occasions (between 1990 and 2016).
Leaders after the second round of three in the 2025 Suzuki International Series at Manfeild at the weekend are:

The six well-balanced events, one per month, will be organised by FIM together with major international and national motorcycle events.
The first round will take place during the 24 Hours Moto in Le Mans, continuing the now-usual start of the Sidecar season as a support race at one of the world’s most famous circuits and events.
The second round will bring the sidecar paddock to the Adriatic coast at Grobnik Rijeka. For many years, this circuit has demonstrated its support and enthusiasm for sidecar racing. This round will take place concurrently with the Alpe Adria International Motorcycle Championship.
For the third round, the sidecar teams will head to the Pau-Arnos circuit in southwestern France. This will be the first time the FIM puts its wheels on this recently renovated and resurfaced track. The round will take place alongside the FSBK.
Cremona in Italy, having hosted a round of the FIM World Superbike Championship in recent years, will welcome the sidecar racers for the fourth round.
The final two rounds will, as in previous years, be combined with BSB at Assen in the Netherlandsand the Sidecar Festival at Oschersleben in Germany, giving teams the opportunity to earn decisive points in the final stretch of the season.
We expect the 2026 FIM Sidecar World Championship to deliver plenty of emotion and entertainment to the sidecar community and beyond.

“If you’ve checked out last week’s episode, you’ll know that it was Jeremy Burgess who first described riders as ‘flickering lightbulbs’. Why? Because the moment they start to fail, you just replace them with a new one.
Cruel, yes, but that’s MotoGP for you. You can be one of the twenty fastest riders alive – but all that matters is that you’re always just a little slower than the next guy. You’ve been demoted to dead wood, to borrow another term from Burgesss. Good luck, and goodbye!
So maybe you’re one of those riders who didn’t appear last episode. Maybe you thought this meant you were safe.
Bad luck, buddy: that means Mat and Peter just haven’t gotten to you yet!”

It is incredibly tight at the top after the second round of three in the 2025 Suzuki International Series in the Manawatu at the weekend.
And now the popular motorcycling competition is headed for a much-anticipated finale on the public streets of Whanganui’s world-renowned Cemetery Circuit in just 12 days’ time, on December 26, with racing sure to go right down to the final chequered flag in several of the bike categories.
The tightest of all is the formula one sidecars class where Tokomaru’s Barry Smith, with Whanganui co-pilot Louise Blythe, and Panmure’s Adam Unsworth, with Whanganui co-pilot Bryce Rose, are level on points after the weekend’s two days of racing at Manfeild, on the outskirts of Feilding.
Two of the leading riders in the formula one/superbike class each suffered crashes in separate incidents at Manfeild, Bay of Plenty’s defending champion and class leader Mitch Rees sliding from his bike while leading the F1 race on Saturday, while his father, multi-time former champion Tony Rees, crashed out of race three on Sunday afternoon and, with an ankle injury, he opted not to line up for the re-start.
Consistency from the fast-improving Rogan Chandler, from Upper Hutt, earned him the No.2 position in the F1 standings and he is now just three points adrift of Whakatane man Mitch Rees. As for 58-year-old ‘elder statesman’ Tony Rees, he has slipped to third in the rankings, although he is only 11 points behind Chandler.
One of the most impressive riders in the series so far has been Silverdale teenager Tyler King.

The 19-year-old holds the lead in two of the competition’s 13 bike categories – he is on top in both the formula three and supersport 300 classes – and his current form and momentum will likely see him remain there.
Whanganui’s Richie Dibben has been untouchable this season, the national supermoto champion taking his lightly-modified Suzuki RM-Z450 motocross bike to qualify fastest at both Taupo’s round one and at round two in Feilding and then winning all six races contested, one of them a from-last-to-first masterclass performance.
Started in 2008, this year’s 17th annual Suzuki International Series – it skipped a year in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic – climaxes as usual with the post-Christmas public street race event on Whanganui’s famous Cemetery Circuit on Boxing Day.

Rossi Attila Moor has begun his preparations for the 2026 season at the Ferrari Academy Training Center.
In early December, Révész Racing’s Hungarian-American talent took part in a comprehensive HRV assessment and a performance stress test in Budapest. Based on the results, doctors confirmed what had already been evident from his on-track performances: Rossi is in excellent physical condition, with strong recovery capacity, and possesses a psycho-emotional profile perfectly suited to elite sport.
This week, Dr. Marco Casarotti—psychologist, psychotherapist, trainer, and advisor at the Ferrari Academy Training Center—worked with Rossi in a two-day mental and performance program designed for top athletes.
Dr. Casarotti focuses on peak performance in both professional and sporting environments. He earned his Ph.D. in cognitive science at the University of Padua, conducting innovative research in cognitive processes, spatial attention, and neural modeling. He currently serves as a consultant to the Ferrari Driver Academy, where he develops performance-enhancing training programs. In addition, he works as a corporate trainer specializing in leadership, communication, and organizational change. His expertise extends to biofeedback, neurofeedback, and team coaching, further strengthening his role in integrating neurological principles with practical growth strategies.
Rossi completed every assessment: debriefing, gym training, cognitive evaluation, psychophysiological tests, cortical assessment, balance testing, breathing protocols, cognitive training, and sports psychology coaching. It is a program that challenges even the strongest athletes.
Rossi not only completed the program but impressed everyone involved. At the end of the second day, in recognition of his attitude and performance throughout, Dr. Casarotti surprised him with a special reward: five laps in the Formula 4 simulator on the Imola circuit. Just five laps. And yet his performance was so remarkable that when he stepped out of the simulator, the stunned silence spoke volumes.
His innate talent, instinct, and precision were unmistakable.
For us, the 2026 season has already begun. Every day we are working to ensure Rossi is in the best possible shape for the year ahead. His performance at the Ferrari Academy Training Center once again made it clear: Rossi is a true, rare talent.
And in 2026, we will make sure the world sees it on track.

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback

There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
