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.

Paul Jordan Re-Signs with Jackson Racing for TT 2026:

Paul Jordan Re-Signs with Jackson Racing for TT 2026: 

Paul Jordan Jackson Racing Isle of Man TT, Paul Jordan Supertwin Podium, Ducati Panigale V2 Road Race Spec.

Magherafelt’s Paul Jordan is staying put for the 2026 Isle of Man TT, confirming a third successive year with the powerhouse Jackson Racing squad. After a stellar 2025 that saw him grab a Supertwin podium and push the front-runners in every class, Jordan is doubling down on the continuity that has made him one of Northern Ireland’s brightest stars on the Mountain Course.

The “no-brainer” deal sees Jordan remain on the machinery that brought him his best-ever results, but with one massive tactical upgrade: he’s switching to a Ducati Panigale V2 for the Supersport class.

Continuity is Key for Jordan

In a sport where jumping between teams can reset a rider’s progress, Paul Jordan is opting for stability. Having spent two years gelling with the Jackson Racing crew—a team that has previously fielded legends like John McGuinness and Dan Kneen—Jordan knows he has the foundation to move from “consistent top-ten finisher” to “permanent podium threat.”

“Continuing with Jackson Racing for a third year was a no-brainer,” Jordan said. “The aim is to build on a strong 2025 season and move up the ladder that bit more. Same team, same crew, and mostly the same bikes gives us a solid foundation.”

Ian Hutchinson Returns: RST Launches ‘TeamRST’ for 2026 Isle of Man TT

Ian Hutchinson TeamRST 2026 Isle of Man TT Superbike

The Official TT safety partner RST have confirmed they are stepping up from the sidelines to the starting grid. The brand has launched TeamRST and they’ve secured the signature of the Ian Hutchinson to lead the way for their 2026 Isle of Man TT Campaign.

With less than 80 days until the flag drops on Glencrutchery Road, this isn’t just a PR exercise. TeamRST is coming to the Mountain Course with one goal – winning.

Hutchinson: The Legend Returns to the Front

For fans of real road racing, Hutchy needs no introduction. A 16-time TT winner, he remains the only man in history to ever claim five victories in a single week (2010). After a few seasons of battling health setbacks and machinery changes, Hutchinson sounds more determined than ever.

“This project is very personal to me,” Hutchinson said at the launch. “After everything I’ve experienced at the TT, I still have that drive to prove we can compete at the very front. We’re aiming for that top spot.”

Davey Todd Injured at 2026 Daytona 200

Heartbreak at the High Banks: Todd’s Daytona Debut Cut Short

DAYTONA BEACH, FL — The 84th running of the Daytona 200 was supposed to be the glittering American debut for Saltburn’s finest, Davey Todd. Instead, the “World Center of Racing” proved why it is as cruel as it is iconic. Competing for the PHR Performance squad (supported by his 8-Ten Racing partner Peter Hickman), Todd’s weekend ended not in the winner’s circle, but in a hospital bed.

The drama began early in Thursday’s qualifying. Todd was “cleaned out” by another rider on his opening lap, a low-speed incident that appeared manageable. He managed to limp the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS back to the pits, where the PHR crew worked feverishly to straighten the machine.

The Impact

However, the gremlins of Daytona are persistent. Returning to the track for the final ten minutes of the session, Todd suffered a catastrophic second crash coming out of Turn 2. A mechanical failure—suspected to be a steering jam resulting from the initial impact—sent him directly into the wall at high speed.

“I tried to jump off it, but couldn’t really get off it properly in time,” Todd shared in a post-surgery update.

The toll of the impact was severe:
