Davey Todd steps up to the British Superbike Championship with FHO Racing BMW Motorrad

The FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team is delighted to announce that the 2024 National Superstock Champion Davey Todd will join the team for the 2025 season, as Davey steps up to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship full-time aboard the BMW M 1000 RR.

With a formidable line-up for the 2025 BSB season, Davey joins Faye Ho’s squad alongside Peter Hickman as the FHO Racing team look to lift the Bennetts British Superbike Championship trophy for the first time.

Two-time National Superstock Champion (2022, 2024), Davey is no stranger to the BMW M 1000 RR, having won this year’s title aboard the Superstock version. Taking the BMW to the top step on three occasions, his consistency won him the overall title as he stood on the podium a further nine times.

Meanwhile Hicky maintains his long-standing relationship with Team Principal Faye Ho, as the 2025 season marks his fourth year with the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad squad. Having been a part of the team since it made its debut in the British Championship in 2012, Peter has enjoyed BSB wins and podiums aboard the BMW M 1000 RR, despite a challenging time this year in the series.

Classic TT Returns for 2025

Classic TT Returns for 2025 :

The Isle of Man TT has announced that the Classic TT will return in 2025. The event last ran in 2019.

The Classic TT for vintage machinery from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s first took place in 2013 and ran through to 2019.

Since 2022 the classic events and machinery have been held and raced as part of the Manx Grand Prix. One of the biggest issues for fan, riders, teams and organisation is that the new version of the MGP had been held over fewer days than the two weeks allocated for the old joint format.

For 2025, the Classic TT will return in its own right and will again run alongside the Manx GP back over the two week format in August.

The Manx GP will start on Sunday 17 August 2025 and run to Monday 25 August 2025. The Classic TT will run between 20-29 August 2025.

Qualifying kicks off on Wednesday, 20th August 2025, with five action-packed races spread across Wednesday, 27th August, and Friday, 29th August. On the opening race day, you’ll enjoy the Formula 1 TT Race, the Lightweight TT Race, and the Historic Junior TT Race. Then, on Friday, the prestigious Historic Senior TT Race will set the stage for a thrilling finale, with the Senior Classic TT Race closing out the high-speed action on the Mountain Course.

But the excitement doesn’t stop on the track! Away from the course, you’ll enjoy a variety of nostalgic events and 2-wheeled attractions, making this an unforgettable week of entertainment for every fan.

If you’re eager to step back in time and join the celebrations, early travel offers are available through the TT’s Official Travel Partners.

FHO Racing and Josh Brookes Part Ways (2024) :

Hosh Brookes at FHO Racing

FHO Racing and Josh Brookes have ended their two year partnership as of the end of this year’s BSB Season.

The split was announced on Facebook by the Team and a mere 14 minutes later confirmed by Josh Brookes on his social media. Faye Ho subsequently added her own message to the FHO Team Page and all of it was exceptionally professional and friendly. Not that you would expect anything else from the FHO Setup.


FHO Racing : 14/10/2024 :

“All good things must come to an end. That’s why they’re called good things – otherwise they’re just ordinary” (Joyce Rachelle) Josh Brookes, what can we say other than thank you! 🙏🏻 Thank you for all the memories, your hard work and dedication over the past two years. It’s been an absolute blast and a pleasure having you on the team ❤️ Good luck for your next chapter ✊🏻 It’s not goodbye, it’s a see you soon 🫶

Conor Cummins Withdraws from TT 2024

Conor Cummins Withdraws from TT 2024 :

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.


Padgett’s Motorcycles seem to have added that they have parted company with Conor Cummins in a Facebook Post :
