The EBC-adorned team is supporting two riders in the British Supersport Championship
For the 2025 season, the G&S Racing Kawasaki motorcycle race team is once again competing in the BSB’s British Supersport Championship with two riders: TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom.
The duo continues to entrust EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX track/race brake pads and X-Series floating discs on their Kawasaki race bikes – a formula that has helped them secure solid points in previous years.
Following a rollercoaster of a weekend at Donington Park, the next leg of the journey took the team to the BSB’s international round, held at Assen Circuit in the Netherlands.
Read how it all panned out in their own words below…
“The two G&S Racing Kawasaki riders, TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom, headed over to Assen in the Netherlands for round nine of the British Supersport Championship, where both riders completed the two races. TJ Toms added to his points tally to retain his ninth place in the overall rider standings.
“TJ Toms completed his qualifying for a fourth-row start to the first race which was held over to Sunday because of the torrential rain on Sunday. It was windy and cold but at least it was dry and TJ was running in 11th place during the first three laps. He ran wide and cut the course on the fourth lap which resulted in him losing three places down to 14th. But he got his head down and began to make up the places again and ended the 10-lap affair in 12th place to pick up four championship points.
“In the Feature Race, TJ started from row five and entered into a five-way battle for 9th place with all five riders circulating within a second. With three laps to go, TJ eventually caught and passed Lee Johnston and went on to cross the finish line in ninth position and be rewarded with another eight championship points which sees him retain his ninth place in the standings and reduce the deficit to eighth down to 11 points.”
“Jorel Boerboom was racing at his home track and was within one place of going through to final qualifying. He started the first race from the middle of the 10th row and made steady progress through the field to complete the race in 23rd place.
“Starting the feature race from the ninth row, he got a great start and made up eight places on the opening lap to 18th. On lap two he passed another four riders and found himself up into 14th position. He went on to claim 13th place and was on the back of the group fighting for ninth. But it wasn’t to be and he gradually began to drop back and completed the 16 laps in 21st place.”
Team Manager, Tom Fisher: “The weather spoiled the weekend for us at Assen. With the first race postponed until Sunday morning it made for a busy day. The riders adapted well and TJ brought more points home for us and although Jorel was going well in the second race and running in a point scoring position for a few laps he wasn’t able to keep up with the pace of the faster riders. But to his credit he was hanging on the back of the group for quite a while. His family and friends were there to cheer him on and we enjoyed their company for the weekend. Thanks again to our sponsors who give us their support, we really appreciate their input.”
