Season to begin on May 16 at Shannonville Motorsport Park.

BMW Motorrad Canada is thrilled to announce its participation in the Pro Superbike Class of the 2025 Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK), partnering with a famed team and rider alongside the return of fan-favorite Sam Guerin. This season promises to be an exciting chapter for BMW Motorrad as it continues to build on its legacy of excellence in Canadian two-wheeled motorsport.

Introducing Alex Dumas and Fast Company

Joining the ranks of BMW Motorrad Canada is the talented Alex Dumas, who will be riding the #23 M 1000 RR. Dumas is no stranger to success, having clinched the 2021 Canadian Superbike Championship. With his impressive track record and competitive spirit, Dumas is poised to make a significant impact this season.

Dumas will be racing under the banner of Economy Lube + Tire / Fast Company / BMW Motorrad, and will be expertly managed by Scott Miller.

Welcoming Back Sam Guerin

In addition to Dumas, BMW Motorrad Canada is excited to welcome back Sam Guerin, who will be riding the #2 M 1000 RR for the EFC Group BMW Motorrad team. In 2024, Guerin closed out the championship in a strong second place on his BMW M 1000 RR. Guerin’s return adds depth and familiarity to the BMW Motorrad lineup, and fans can expect to see him compete fiercely throughout the championship.

2025 Championship Schedule

BMW Motorrad also holds the title of reigning Canadian Superbike Constructors Champion since 2022, a testament to its commitment to performance and innovation in the world of motorsport.

“The M 1000 RR has proven to be an extremely competitive motorcycle with which we’ve seen a lot of success over the past few years,” said Alex Welsh, Marketing Manager with BMW Motorrad Canada. “Paired with Dumas and Guerin’s clear talents on track, we’re hoping to see continued success in 2025.”

The CMA is the National sanctioning group for motorcycle activity in Canada, affiliated with international authority Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). The CMA supports several National series, including the Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship (CSBK).

The CMA Ambassador Award “recognizes exceptional effort or achievement which reflects favourably on the CMA,” and was awarded by the CMA’s boss, Ross de St. Croix, during the recent CMA AGM.

Sharpless was a multi-discipline racer growing up, travelling with her two famous brothers, Todd and Blair, out of their parent’s Toronto-suburb bike shop, Scarborough’s Sonic Cycle. In the early 1980s Sharpless focused on road racing, starting with a then-ubiquitous two-stroke Yamaha RD350LC. Moving up to the fearsome RZ500, Sharpless soon turned Pro and competed aboard Suzuki and Yamaha Superbikes, including a strong effort in the Daytona 200.

That performance in Florida earned Sharpless an opportunity with Yamaha International, riding in the World Endurance Championship in Europe and Japan. She then took a long sabbatical from competition but continued to work in the Powersports industry.

Sharpless returned to the pavement at the start of most recent decade, after a chance encounter with a mini road racer Ohvale at a Toronto Motorcycle Show. Soon, Sharpless was running Schools at a variety of small venues but focused on the Lombardy Go-Kart track north of Kingston, Ontario.

At the same time, unretired racer Sharpless joined the new Pro Lightweight Sport Bike category in Bridgestone CSBK competition with Yamaha R3 twin equipment.

On the small-wheeled side of things, Sharpless used the family shop name to start the Super Sonic Roadrace School, working with both youth and adult riders. The next step was to launch a racing series for the smaller machines, so Sharpless and associates, including husband Jamie, started the MiniSBK tour.

Toni’s next target was to send top Canadian youngsters to the FIM World Championship MiniGP series in Spain, so Sharpless headed to Valencia on a fact-finding/hand-shaking mission in the fall of 2022. This initiative succeeded, and Canada joined the FIM’s World Series for 2023, sending Michael Galvis and Ben Hardwick as the CMA’s representatives for the televised final event.

The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship has officially revised its 2025 provisional race schedule, removing the fourth round at Rocky Mountain Motorsports near Calgary, Alberta.

The difficult decision was made due to external factors that would have prevented the championship from operating in a normal fashion.

The venue limitations, set by city council, were unable to be overcome for the 2025 season. CSBK organizers would like to thank RMM officials for their collaboration during this process, which included a successful mid-season test during the 2024 season.

The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship remains committed to exploring potential events at RMM in the future.

“It’s an unfortunate situation” said series owner Ross Millson. “We’ve worked to expand CSBK for our competitors, supporters, and fans, but setbacks and challenges are always possible.”

The decision means that the 2025 schedule will revert to four rounds, with a longer break between round three at Alberta’s RAD Torque Raceway and the season finale in Ontario at CTMP in August.

However, the third round at RAD Torque will now become a triple-header for the feature GP Bikes Pro Superbike and Economy Lube Pro Sport Bike classes, meaning each championship will maintain at least nine races in 2025.

The rest of the supporting Bridgestone CSBK classes will remain doubleheaders, with their 2025 schedules to eight races.

Series organizers would like to thank riders, teams, and fans for their support ahead of the 2025 campaign and look forward to another exciting season of national racing.

More information can be found on the series’ official website.
