Approaching the final round of his best season in British Superbikes, TAG Racing Honda re-sign Fraser Rogers in BSB for 2026.
The 29-year-old from Swindon joined the team at the end of 2023 after previously competing in British and European Superstock, CEV Moto3 and more. His first season on the CBR1000RR Fireblade was impacted by injury with best finishes of sixth at the Knockhill round.
In 2025, he improved on this with his first podium, taking third at the Scottish circuit in a race impacted by the weather, and also qualified on the front row for the first time at Oulton Park. He’s currently 15th in the 2025 standings on 119 points, and could finish as high as 13th, depending on results at the final round at Brands Hatch.

Jose Antonio Rueda Joins Moto2 With Red Bull KTM Ajo In 2026
It’s now confirmed that Jose Antonio Rueda joins Moto2 with Red Bull KTM Ajo in 2026, partnering current rider Colin Veijer.
The 19-year-old currently leads the Moto3 standings by 78 points as part of the Ajo team in that championship, and won both the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and FIM JuniorGP titles in 2023. It seems fairly likely he’ll be crowned MotoGP champion for 2025 with just six rounds left, with only Angel Piqueras less than 100 points behind.
While the move to Moto2 with KTM is no surprise for Rueda, it follows the announcement that Deniz Oncu is leaving after two years with the squad (and six with KTM) to join Aron Canet at Elf Marc VDS, switching to a Boscoscuro chassis for the first time. With Jake Dixon all but confirmed for Honda in World Superbikes, the one person currently not confirmed for a ride in 2026 is team-mate Filip Salac, who sits 15th in the standings, four places about Veijer.

OMG Racing Withdraw From The 2025 British Superbikes Series
With the opening round of the championship just weeks away at the start of May, OMG Racing withdraw from the 2025 British Superbikes series, leaving reigning champion Kyle Ryde, 2022 champion Bradley Ray, and young team-mate Joe Talbot all without rides.
The news was first announced by Bennetts British Superbike Championship organisers MSVR, and was met by disbelief, particularly as it was unfortunately shared on April 1st, also known as April Fools Day.
“As the promoter we are both shocked and saddened by this news, naturally this is devastating for the team and staff with such close proximity to the start of the season. However, in terms of the riders, MSVR as the promoter is actively pursuing alternative routes for their participation this season.”

Two-time Dakar Winner Sam Sunderland Retires From Racing
The 2019 Cross-Country Rallies World Champion, 2022 World Rally-Raid Champion and two-time Dakar winner Sam Sunderland retires from racing at a professional level.
The 35-year-old first started riding motocross until a big accident at 16 forced some time away from racing until a holiday in Dubai inspired the switch to rally raids. This led to his Dakar debut in 2012 for Honda, and the first stage win for a British rider in more than a decade in 2014.
A switch to KTM saw him win the Dakar in 2017, alongside other overall rally wins in Morocco and Qatar. In 2022 he switched to GASGAS, and immediately won the 2022 Dakar Rally on the RX450F, the first win for the manufacturer, followed by taking his second Rally Raid title.
Andreas Hölzl – Rally Team Manager: “We would like to say a massive thank you to Sam for his time with Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing. I speak for the whole team when I say we’re sad to hear that Sam is retiring from racing, but we completely respect his decision and thank him for everything he has done for us over the years. Beyond being a phenomenal racer, Sam is a fantastic person – always supportive, motivating, and a true team player. He is a huge part of the GASGAS family, and we look forward to working with him again in new and exciting ways in the future.”
Pit Beirer – Motorsports Director: “Sam joined the company back in 2014, and since then his passion, dedication, and results have been exceptional. He not only secured two world championships and two Dakar victories, but he played a massive part in the successes of the whole team. Over the years, our relationship with Sam became stronger and stronger, and with his move to Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing in 2022, he continued to make history. While it’s tough to see Sam go, we respect his decision. I’d like to personally thank Sam for everything he put into the team and wish him well for the future.”
