No sooner than the news broke that Burrows Engineering and RK Racing had parted ways with Conor Cummins did the announcement come that Conor has formed his own Team which will be competing at the 2026 Isle of Man TT Road Races…


CUMMINS LAUNCHES CONROD MOTORSPORT FOR TT 2026

WORDS: IOM TT RACES OFFICIAL

Conor Cummins has announced the launch of his own Conrod Motorsport team for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, marking a bold new chapter in his career as he prepares to celebrate 20 years since his TT debut.

Inspired by his successful Douglas-based coffee business Conrod’s, launched in 2015, Cummins’ new team signals both a personal milestone and a fresh competitive challenge. The initial programme will see Conrod Motorsport contest the two Superstock TT races in 2026 on a machine to be confirmed, while Cummins continues to review his options for the Superbike and Supersport classes.

Speaking of the new venture, Conor said: “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge of running my own team. It’s a big step and a bit of a leap into the unknown, but it’s something I’ve considered doing at various stages throughout my career. With the growth of the business, now feels like the right time, and I’m really excited to be bringing my two passions together.”

“The competition is tougher than ever, so I’m under no illusion as to how much work this is going to take. But I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great people and great teams over the years, and I’ll be bringing all that know-how together to make sure I’m in the strongest possible position when it’s time to go racing.”

Conor Cummins Withdraws from TT 2024

Conor Cummins has confirmed his withdrawal from the remainder of the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races.

In a short statement, Cummins said: “I have withdrawn from the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races with immediate effect, and will provide an update on my plans for the remainder of the season in the coming weeks. I’d like to thank all my sponsors and family for their continued support and wish my fellow competitors the best for the remainder of the TT.” 

The news comes after uncharacteristically poor results in the opening races of TT 2024, with the 12-time podium finisher retiring from the opening Monster Energy Supersport Race and the RST Superbike Race, and finishing 8th in today’s RL360 Superstock Race.

Cummins re-signed with the Milenco by Padgett’s Motorcycles team for an eighth successive year following a period of speculation as to who he would ride for in 2024. The Manxman ultimately chose to remain with team and, after a viral illness side-lined him for much of TT 2023, was determined to be back on the podium and in the hunt for race victories.

No further detail has been given around Cummins’ decision at this time.
