TJ Alberto secures his fifth consecutive PSBK title
Access Plus Racing delivered a dominant performance in Round 6 of the 2025 Philippine Superbike Championship (PSBK) at Clark International Speedway (CIS), capping the weekend with another 1-2-3 finish and sealing TJ Alberto’s 5th consecutive PSBK title aboard the Ducati Panigale V4.
TJ Alberto set the tone early by taking pole position with a 1:48.031 lap, edging out Marvin Mangulabnan by 0.325 seconds. His brother Troy joined him on the front row, setting up an all-Ducati front-line battle.
In Race 1, TJ led cleanly from the start, while Troy briefly challenged Mangulabnan before the Aprilia rider retook P2. With seven laps remaining, Mangulabnan crashed under braking at Turn 10, handing full control back to Access Plus Racing. TJ and Troy crossed the line in formation, followed by Jan Timbol in third for another all-Ducati podium sweep.
Race 2 saw a fierce battle at the front as Mangulabnan charged from sixth to challenge the Alberto brothers. TJ reclaimed the lead in the closing laps to secure another victory, while Mangulabnan narrowly beat Troy for second by just 0.029 seconds.
The results sealed TJ Alberto’s fifth straight PSBK Pro Class title and moved Troy up to second in the championship standings.
Team Principal, Toti Alberto, praised the team’s effort, calling it “mission accomplished,” while TJ dedicated the win to his crew and family, saying he’s already looking ahead to 2026 with the arrival of Ducati’s seventh-generation Panigale.
