Davey Todd Out of 2026 TT Races

Davey Todd Out of 2026 TT Races :

A statement from the Official TT Page has confirmed that Davey Todd has been ruled out of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.

This will be an awful blow to DT who also missed out on the North West 200 last week, however hopefully TTPlus is listening and manages to talk him into the commentary team, he was brilliant on the BBC Coverage of the NW200.


TODD DECLARED UNFIT FOR TT 2026

Davey Todd has been declared medically unfit to compete in the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races by the event’s Medical Team following assessment of the injuries sustained during an incident at the Daytona 200 in March and ongoing review of his recovery.

Todd sustained multiple injuries in the accident, including fractures to his femur, tibia, foot and nose. Following initial surgery in the United States, he subsequently underwent an intensive rehabilitation programme at a specialist recovery clinic in Italy.

Throughout this period, Todd has remained in regular contact with the TT Medical Team, with ongoing cooperation between his treating clinicians and Manx Roadracing Medical Services (MRMS) – the organisation responsible for providing medical services for the Isle of Man TT Races on behalf of ACU Events Ltd.

Cooper and McWilliams Master the “Triangle” in Rain-Hit NW200 Opener

The North Coast of Northern Ireland welcomed the road racing elite today for the opening practice sessions of the 2026 North West 200. While the atmosphere in the paddock was electric, the weather proved a temperamental host. Heavy rain spells and shifting winds across the 8.9-mile “Triangle” course forced riders to contend with a stop-start schedule and a rapidly evolving track surface.

Despite the tricky conditions, two names dominated the conversation: Richard Cooper and the ageless Jeremy McWilliams.


Superbike: Cooper’s BMW Masterclass

The premier class hit the tarmac under a grey, damp sky that tested both courage and tire choice. Richard Cooper proved he is the man to beat this week, navigating the BMW to a blistering 4m 51.332s lap. He finished a comfortable 2.6 seconds ahead of Honda’s Paul Jordan.
