TAG Racing Honda can confirm that Scott Swann will remain with the team for the remainder of the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship season.
Following a successful debut with the team at the ninth round of the season at Assen, Swann will continue to campaign the TAG Racing Honda Fireblade as the Championship heads into its final stages.
The Northern Irish rider joined TAG Racing Honda for the Assen weekend, quickly settling into the team and adapting to the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. Despite challenging and changeable conditions throughout the weekend, ‘Swanny’ produced a series of determined performances, progressing throughout the event and ultimately securing points in his first BSB weekend with the team.
Swann will now travel to Donington Park, the team’s home round, aiming to build on the success they produced in the Netherlands.
TAG Racing Honda would like to place on record its sincere thanks to SMR Performance for allowing Scott to remain with the team for the remainder of the year, and we wish them the best for the final two rounds of the season.
Scott Swann: “I’m really excited for this opportunity to remain with TAG Racing for the final two rounds of the season. Firstly, I want to say a massive thanks to SMR Performance for allowing me to do this. They couldn’t be happier for me going on to do what I want to do, they also think this is the best move for me, and honestly, I can’t thank Shaun, Lewis and the whole team enough for giving me the platform to impress and allowing me to do this.
“I honestly couldn’t be any happier to stay with the TAG Racing Honda team. From the first day at Assen, I gelled with the team and the bike as well. The vibes in the garage are fantastic and I really feel at home with everyone. Being back in the Superbike class gave me a buzz. I came home from Assen extremely satisfied, so to be in this position is fantastic. I’m delighted and I can’t thank Rob, Tracy and Gary enough for the opportunity.
“Finally, I just want to thank all my sponsors and supporters for believing in me. Without them, none of this would be possible.”
Team Manager Gary Winfield: “It gives me great pleasure to announce that Scott will be remaining with the team for the final two rounds of the season. He put in an impressive weekend at Assen and we were delighted to find out he wanted to remain with us to round out 2026.
“I want to thank Shaun and Lewis Muir of SMR Performance for allowing Scott to pursue this opportunity. They have been incredibly understanding and we’re grateful for everything they have done.
“There is no pressure on Scott from our point of view. We want him to go out and enjoy himself and pick up where he left off at Assen. He’s fitted in extremely well with the team, and we’re confident that we can produce an excellent finish to the year together.”
