Now in its eighth edition, the competition promises to be as hotly contested as ever, with a perfect mix of experience and fresh faces among the 28 riders set to do battle.

Former winners of the series include the likes of Rory Skinner, Scott Ogden, and Casey O’ Gorman, who have all gone on to race in Moto3™, Moto2™, or the JuniorGP™ series— showcasing just how effective the BTC has been as a stepping stone for talent from the British Isles.

After taking more victories than anyone else in 2024 and securing the bronze medal, Ryan Frost( Fibretec Honda by MLav Racing) is the highest-placed returnee and will renew his rivalry with American Julian Correa( Mortimer Racing).

Fellow 2024 winner Filip Surowiak( City Lifting Team) also returns, as all three set their sights on the 2025 crown.

While the field is made up almost entirely of British riders, 15-year-old Lily Rhodes( Wilson Racing) is readying for her debut— and there’ s international flavour too with two Americans: the aforementioned Correa, and Joshua Raymond Jr( Fibretec Honda by MLav Racing), a top-ten finisher last season.

The 2025 R & G British Talent Cup kicked off at Donington Park on May 18th. Alongside its British Grand Prix appearance, the eight-round series features 18 races in total this year, including a return to the TT Circuit Assen, with the popular Oulton Park hosting the season finale in September.
