MasterMac Honda have announced that Moto3 World Championship race winner and former World Supersport rider John McPhee will make his Bennetts British Superbike Championship debut with the team next season, joining Charlie Nesbitt in their 2025 line-up.
McPhee from Oban in Scotland moves to the series after spending more than a decade on the world scene, with highlights including four Moto3 World Championship race wins and finishing fifth in the 2019 standings. Most recently, he has spent the last two seasons in the Supersport World Championship and will now return to the UK for his first experience of superbike racing.
Meanwhile former British Moto3 and GP2 champion, Nesbitt returns with the team as he continues building on his previous success with MasterMac Honda, entering his third full season in Bennetts BSB, where he has already been a multiple podium finisher.
Hawk Racing, the team behind MasterMac Honda, enter their 27th year in the championship in 2025 and will continue to use Honda Fireblade machinery and MasterMac Surfacing return as their title sponsor.
McPhee said: “I’ve had the privilege of racing at world level for a long time, and Bennetts BSB presents a new and exciting challenge for me. This championship has everything you want as a rider, with the quality of the racing, the variety of circuits and great support from the fans.
“I’m delighted to be joining one of the most experienced and successful teams on the grid, and can’t wait to get started.”
Nesbitt said: “With the experience of two full seasons on the superbike and a great team around me I’m very optimistic about what we can achieve in 2025. We hit a really good rhythm in the second half of last season and I felt more and more at home competing near the front for the podium places. Hopefully we’ll continue the momentum into the new season and make it our best together so far.”
