George Holden & Jake Roberts teaming up for TT 2025

Holden to make debut whilst Roberts claimed podium this year

A TT debutant will join forces with one of the podium finishers of 2024 to form a new team at the Isle of Man TT Races in 2025.

Driver George Holden is preparing for his maiden appearance on Island and will be joined by passenger Jake Roberts.

George - who's the son of two-time Sidecar TT winner John Holden - has confirmed the duo are also planning to compete on the Billown Course at next year's Southern 100 Road Races in July.

He adds he can't wait to get his mountain course journey started whilst Roberts is hopeful this could be beneficial for both of them in the long-term:

Elsewhere, for Roberts it'll be his third TT after a steep learning curve in his last two outings.

After his debut he spent this year with 17-time Sidecar TT winner Dave Molyneux with the pairing going on to finish third in the Sidecar TT Race 2.

Up until recently, Roberts had been due to link up with Michael Russell before the Russell Road Racing team announced it was withdrawing from all three-wheeled racing next year.

Following this year's racing fortnight, Molyneux confirmed his retirement from racing.

However, this week it's been announced the Andreas man is taking up a liaison and delegate role with TT organisers, ACU Events Ltd.
