2025 was the fifth season of the King of the Roads, and it was the biggest yet, with 19 races across 9 events. As well as the established events, 2025 also saw the return of the Tandragee 100 and the Steve Henshaw Gold Cup at Olivers Mount, two much loved meetings.

It was also a historic season as it saw King of the Roads go live for the first time at three events, bringing fans live road racing from Aberdare Park, the Southern 100 and the Olivers Mount Gold Cup. Thank you to everyone who purchased the Live Pass.

And in a season that saw 5 different riders taste victory, it was Davey Todd who was crowned as champion for the third time, following his victories in 2022 and 2024. 

The Englishman took 6 wins across the year on his way to the title, and following his 2024 crown, he became the first rider in the history of King of the Roads to take consecutive championships.

He took victories in both the Milwaukee and Merrow Hotel Superbike races at the North West 200, all three Senior races at the Southern 100 and the season ending Macau Grand Prix. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider never finished lower than second place, when he was beaten by Michael Dunlop MBE in the Briggs Superbike race at the North West 200.

Starting at the Cookstown 100 in April and concluding at the Macau Grand Prix in November, the 2025 campaign saw 149 riders entered into at least 1 King of the Roads event, with 102 riders scoring points. 8 manufacturers were represented, although all victories were shared by BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha riders.

The biggest margin of victory came in the IRRC Race 1 at Imatra, where Erno Kostamo beat Eemili Lathi by a stunning 19 seconds. The closest margin of victory was the Saturday Supersport Final at Aberdare Park, which saw Ryan Dixon beat Andy Smart by just 0.156 seconds. 

Those are some of the main facts and figures for 2025. We already look forward to 2026, when the King of the Roads returns for another season of thrilling road racing. Who will be champion?
