SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – BMW Motorrad Motorsport is cranking up the excitement for U.S. race fans as Chicago-based OrangeCat Racing officially becomes a BMW MOTORRAD MOTORSPORT Team in the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike season. After three highly successful years in the Stock 1000 class, the privateer squad now moves into North America’s premier Superbike championship with full factory backing and a sharpened rider lineup.

From hungry privateer to factory-backed Superbike contender

OrangeCat Racing’s relationship with BMW began in 2023, when the team first lined up in MotoAmerica’s Stock 1000 class with the BMW M 1000 RR. The results came quickly: over three seasons, OrangeCat riders delivered 10 wins and 33 podiums, including runner-up championship finishes with Kaleb DeKeyrel in 2023 and Jayson Uribe in 2024, plus a 2025 title with Andrew Lee.

Confidence Through Every Weather Twist

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit lived up to its reputation for unpredictability. With rain soaking one sector and sunshine drying out another, tire strategy became the deciding factor. Teams using Dunlop’s KR109 front and KR108 rear compounds for dry conditions — and switching to KR191, KR393, or KR398i for wet and intermediate moments — benefited from reliable grip, fast warm-up times, and excellent feedback.

Confidence and Control in Every Corner

Spa’s fast corners, steep elevation changes, and notorious weather surprises make it a true test for any racer—and the 2025 edition delivered all that and more. Riders tackled a partially resurfaced 3.5 km of track, giving them smoother tarmac and improved grip—ideal conditions to push performance to the edge.
