This is What Life After KTM Looks Like for McWilliams
60 years of age, former MotoGP racer Jeremy McWilliams is taking up a new challenge in 2025
www.visordown.comHere’s a quick update on Jeremy McWilliams with the latest notable developments I can verify.
- In 2025, Jeremy McWilliams stepped back from the Ulster Superbike Championship amid ongoing tensions with the organisers, citing a detrimental organisational atmosphere and a desire to enjoy grassroots racing again [sources indicate a dispute with the Motorcycle Union of Ireland and a decision not to return to USBK for that season].[1]
- Earlier in 2025, he signaled a return to competitive road racing in Ulster with plans to contest multiple classes (Superbike, Supersport, and Supertwin) under his own JMac Racing setup, after parting ways with KTM as a factory test rider.[2]
- McWilliams remains a prominent figure in road racing circles, with a long record of Northwest 200 podiums and a history of cross-discipline racing, including attempts at MotoGP and King of the Baggers events in later years.[4][6]
If you’d like, I can pull a few more sources for a deeper timeline, or summarize the key events in a concise timeline format. Also, if you’re looking for information specific to a certain aspect (e.g., race results, team affiliations, or calendar appearances in 2025–2026), tell me and I’ll focus on that.
