Triple TT winners RC Express Racing have secured a two-year extension with sponsor Dafabet.
The extension will see the partnership reach a decade together.
The Bristol-based team first joined forces with Dafabet in 2017, with Ivan Lintin and Steve Mercer riding.
That year, Lintin took fourth in the Lightweight TT—adding to his two previous wins for the team—and claimed victories at the Ulster Grand Prix and a podium at the North West 200.
In 2018, Lintin secured four top-ten TT finishes, including eighth in the Superbike race, before a career-ending crash at the Southern 100. The team rebounded in 2019 with Paul Jordan winning the Supertwin race at the Ulster GP.
After pandemic disruptions, rising star Rob Hodson delivered strong results in 2022, including sixth in the Supertwins TT. In 2023, stand-in rider Josh Brookes impressed with third and fifth in the Supertwin races.
2025
For 2025, the team switches to Honda machinery and signs local rider Michael Evans.
Ben Constable, Dafabet Racing Co-Owner, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be continuing our journey with Dafabet. This partnership has become a cornerstone of our team… We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
John Cruces of Dafabet added: “We’re very happy to be extending our partnership with the team. They’re a family-based set-up that appreciate the values of loyalty and how valuable long-term relationships are.
“With the new bikes being put in place, we have every confidence of success in the new season and wish the riders the best of luck, speed and safety.”
