Jordan remained with the Jackson Racing team for a second season in 2025, with double British Superbike champion Josh Brookes joining the ranks for the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.

A victory for Jordan on the Jackson Racing by Prosper2 Aprilia at the North West 200 in May was a special moment at the beginning of the major road racing season, with the Magherafelt man fulfilling a long-held ambition of standing on the top step at Northern Ireland's most prestigious motorcycle race.

Jordan then returned to the podium at the Isle of Man TT, taking third in the opening Supertwin race, but his fourth place in the second Supersport race and personal best lap in the class of 126.358mph was the standout result of the TT fortnight for the 34-year-old, who once again led the field away at number one.

In August, he achieved another big goal by winning his first race around the 37.73-mile TT Mountain Course with victory in the Historic Junior race at the Classic TT.

Jordan - the man of the meeting at Armoy in July, where his results included a Supertwin double and new class lap record - reflected on his 2025 achievements so far, with the Macau Grand Prix in southern China still to come in November.

"I think it has been [best season of his career]," said Jordan, who returned home this week after bagging a Supersport double and lap record on his first visit to Frohburg in Germany for the final IRRC round at the weekend as a guest rider on a Yamaha R6 for the Laserscanning Europe by PSB Motorsport team.

"It hasn't been a bad year to be fair. When I was sitting in Berlin I was reflecting on this year and I haven't really given myself much credit for what I've achieved this year, and I still feel there's more to come from me, which is good. I feel I'm actually starting to believe in myself.

"I went to Frohburg over the weekend and it was my first time there, first time with the team, first time on the bike, and from the get-go I was P1 in every session until the last race.

"But as a newcomer to walk away with dominating the whole weekend and breaking the lap record, it was a good weekend.

"I made a point of doing it on my own - I never looked for a tow off anybody and I did all my homework before I left, and I learnt the track myself.

"I went with the mindset that I wasn't going to finish second, I was going there to win.

"I broke the lap record four times in the last race and the mentality from the start was to go there and win," he added.

"Alan Jackson was with me and on the Friday before it started, I told him to make sure the team had me out on the road first in the first practice session because I wanted to be on my own, and learning the place by myself.

"The bike was incredible and the team were amazing from start to finish, and I'd like to go again if the opportunity arose because I think I did a good enough job."

Looking back at his North West 200 victory in May, when Jordan picked up the pieces to win after leaders Adam McLean and Richard Cooper crashed out at Juniper chicane, the Ulsterman describes the result as one of the "high points" of a memorable year.

"It was a high point even with the circumstances, but I feel that if I was to go back to the North West now in the position I'm in, I feel I'd be capable of beating those guys on the track, regardless of whether they crashed or not, just because of where I am now and how I feel in myself," Jordan said.

"At the TT, I think out of my whole two weeks that result [fourth in the second Supersport race] was the result of the TT for me.

"I went to the Classic TT and obviously started further down the field, but I think I rode better at the Classic than I did at the TT.

"In the 500 race [Historic Senior Classic] I had Mike (Browne) in my sights - he was in front of me - and I knew if I could keep him in my sights, I knew I was in for a shout of winning the race. I had pulled Mike in a bit and then obviously we broke down.

"In the 350 race [Historic Junior Classic] - and I know it's only the Classic TT - you had boys like Dean Harrison and Jamie Coward who were on bikes that were capable of winning as well."

Jordan's first win on the Mountain Course was a proud moment, but his ultimate goal is to win a TT - something he believes is within his reach.

"That's the real thing I'm striving for and I do feel it's coming, and I definitely feel that I'm growing as a rider, and massively this year," he said.

"Winning at the Classic didn't really hit home until I brought the winning trophy home and it's obviously different compared to my other replicas, so it's cool; it's sitting here in front of me now and it's proper cool!"

Jordan will compete in the British Supersport class at the penultimate round of the championship at Oulton Park before bringing the curtain down on an excellent season at the Macau Grand Prix (November 13-16), where he will again be astride the Jackson Racing Honda Fireblade.
