Ronnie Morgan breaks down his 2025 season as he ends the year joining the NORA CRS Development Team for the 2026 season.
For the 2025 season we were going to concentrate on ACU British Youth, NORA92 British Cup and Corsham Championship in the 65cc class.
We wanted to win the Corsham Championship and as it was my first season doing the nationals we didn’t really have any expectations. My season started off at Preston Docks for the ACU MXGB Youth which turned out to be a non starter for me because I got food poisoning on the way up from a visit to KFC in the services. I was violently sick and bed bound for a week.
Our focus then moved onto the first round of the NORA92 British Cup at Landrake. I was absolutely flying in qualifying and qualified 2nd. Lined up for race 1 and my bike cut out as the 30 second board went up and that was me out for the day due to engine failure, my bike got rebuilt for day 2 but my 2 Championships started off badly and set us off on the backfoot.
One of my highlights of 2025 was going unbeaten over all 3 rounds of the Monster Mountain Wednesday night series, getting 1st overall and also racing on the same day as Jeffery Herlings, Tommy Searle, Conrad Mewse and Josh Gilbert. It was good to get the chance to meet them.
Another highlight was as a wildcard entry at the Bridgestone British Masters at Wroxton and Foxhill finishing 5th overall for both plus finishing as high as 3rd in a number of races which was a big deal for me because I was racing against the fastest 65cc riders in the UK.
My last highlight of 2025 was winning the NORA Motorsport Team Event in the 65cc class which helped Corsham win the 65cc class overall and I was happy winning 2 years in a row.
I learned I needed to be fitter and stronger, which I’ve been working on since the season finished, I also need to be a lot more clinical in qualifying as my nerves got to me which showed in my qualifying results.
My goal’s for the 2026 season is to get as many podiums and maybe even race wins at the Nationals on the 65cc. I’m moving up to the SW85cc class for the NORA92 British Cup. We have no expectations but I want to do well as I’m representing the NORA CRS Development Team and I want to repay them for my opportunity to ride for the team.
