PRESS RELEASE
Following the conclusion of a defining 2025 season in the Australian Superbike Championship, Addicted to Track looks ahead to 2026 with momentum, confidence and a clear strategic focus.
The team’s three-year Superbike program with Ant West has concluded, after delivering exactly what it set out to achieve. The partnership resulted in third overall in the 2025 ASBK Championship, seven podium finishes, a maiden race win and a pole position, firmly establishing Addicted to Track as one of the leading privateer teams on one of the most competitive grids in recent years.
The team’s performance was the product of a five-rider 2025 program that focussed on sustained motorcycle development, disciplined team growth and consistent execution under pressure.
As the program concludes, Addicted to Track and Ant West part ways on excellent terms and with genuine respect for what was achieved together. The partnership played a key role in maturing the motorcycle, validating the engineering platform and confirming the team’s ability to compete, and win, at the front of the ASBK field.
“Ant has played a major role in what we’ve built over the past three years. As a team, we developed the motorcycle, strengthened the team, and demonstrated that a disciplined privateer operation can deliver race-winning results at this level. We acknowledge Ant’s role in that chapter and wish him well moving forward.”
— Mark McGregor, Team Principal
Looking ahead to 2026, Addicted to Track’s focus shifts firmly to the future. With a proven platform now in place, the team will concentrate on building, developing and investing in the next generation of racers, applying the lessons of recent seasons to maximise opportunity, whilst supportting progression and long-term sustainability.
The team are excited to confirm that Jack Favelle will spearhead the Superbike program in 2026, building on a strong and promising season in his rookie year.
The full 2026 line-up will be announced in due course. Opportunities remain available for riders aligned with the team’s performance standards, development focus and long-term vision.
Addicted to Track would like to thank Yamaha, along with its sponsors and supporters, whose continued backing underpins every result on track.
Proud of the journey. Grateful for the people. Clear on the direction. See you on the grid in 2026.
