Access Plus Racing launches two-rider quest for a 5th straight PSBK championship
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Access Plus | PUBLISHER ADVAI
Access Plus Racing is back and stronger than ever for the 2025 Philippine Superbike Championship (PSBK). Fresh off securing his 4th consecutive Rider of the Year title, Timothy Joseph “TJ” Alberto returns to defend his crown, joined once again by his younger brother Troy to complete the team’s two-rider lineup.
Winning 9 out of 12 races in 2024, the reigning champion now sets his sights on a 5th consecutive title. While TJ Alberto has already proven himself at the top of the sport, his competitive spirit remains as strong as ever. However, he approaches the new season with a refreshed outlook, aiming to enjoy his racing more while still pushing for victories.
Fully recovered from the injury he sustained during Round 2 last year, Troy is eager for a fresh start. Having learned from his experience, he now shifts his focus toward completing a full season and challenging for top results in the Overall and Pro Classes.
Both riders will continue to campaign the race-proven Ducati Panigale V4, backed by the team’s long-time technical partner Shell Advance. Shell’s fully synthetic oils — trusted and recommended by Ducati — are engineered to deliver peak performance and protection under the extreme conditions of racing. They ensure the Panigale V4 can endure temperatures of up to 175 degrees Celsius, deliver maximum horsepower at speeds reaching 355.9 km/h, and maintain efficiency at 17,000 rpm.
Access Plus Racing made the most of the off-season, working extensively behind the scenes to prepare for an even bigger 2025 campaign. This year’s PSBK calendar also expands to 7 rounds, with the championship kicking off at Clark International Speedway (CIS) on the 3rd of May and concluding at the same venue in November.
With the Alberto brothers once again front and center, Access Plus Racing is set to make another strong statement as they chase a 5th straight title.

TJ Alberto, #77: “I’m looking forward to the 2025 season. Having four titles under my belt has really solidified my confidence as a racer. Although I have nothing to prove and want to enjoy racing more, the competitive side of me is still there and I’m quite motivated to fight for a 5th championship. I’m also super excited to race with my brother Troy again this year.”
Troy Alberto, #69: “I want to make up for the mistakes I made last year and take this season with a new approach. My goal is to finish every race. I felt that I tried too hard to prove myself last year, and that led to my accident. I know within myself that I have the team, the bike, and the ability to win races or even the championship — but I don’t want to focus on that just yet. I just want to let the results come to me and see what I get.”
Toti Alberto (Team Principal): “By God’s grace, we were able to win the championship for a 4th time last year. We hope to make it a 5th in 2025. And with Troy now fully recovered, we have him and TJ fighting at the front for Access Plus Racing. We pray for a safe, fair season and look forward to seeing our Ducati Panigale V4s dominate on track.”
