Brian McCormack will reไturn to the Isle of Man TT in 2025 with his Roadhouse Macau team and has added a se𝓰cond rider in David Datzer.

McCormack has been a regular at the TT🌠 since his debut in 2010, tallying up 59 starts in that time, with last year proving to be a solid one as he rode to 10th in the Superbike race despite missing testing ♊time due to injury.

The Roadhouse Macau team will fie🤪ld BMW machinery in the big bike races andꦆ Triumph bikes in the Supersport class under the Global Robots/PHR Performance banner.

McCormack will also tackle the Supertwin races on a Glob♔al Robo༒ts Aprilia.

Joining him at the team in 2025 is reigning IRRC Superbike champion Datzer, who endured a difficult 2024 TT after suffering a crash in the opening Supertwin♈ race.

“David and I got chatting a while back and I’ve always wanted to run a second rider and build the team up, so it didn’t take long to get everything in place,” McCormack said.
 
“We ran Davo [Johnson] briefly in the Supersport clas𓂃s last year and David’s already 🧔got to grips with the Global Robots/PHR Performance Triumph which will give him plenty more laps at this year’s TT.

“He’s never really had a good structure around him at the TT, so we’ll be able to pass on plenty of knowledge and experience to him.
 
“With a good environment and good people, i🀅t will be of great benefit to him so together with his own BMW’s, we’re confident he’ll have a highly successful TT 2025.”

He added: “From my side, last year’s TT was tough going as I was stiౠll recovering from my injℱuries sustained at Macau; after operations on my ankle and knee, I was on the back foot a bit and didn’t get the testing I’d have liked.

“The lap speeds were down, but I got another top 10 in the Superbike race and finished all my other races, so it was a solid race week.
 
“I’m hopin🧔g this year will be a lot better as I’m probably the fittest I’ve ever been💮, and I’ll have had more track time ahead of this year’s TT than ever before.

“I feel really comfortable around the Mountain Course now and a lot of effort’s going into this year’s TT so I’m confident it’ll b𒁏e a good year.”
