Lincolnshire’s David ‘Action’ Jackson has confirmed that he will return to Manx shores for TT 2020, as he aims to build upon impressive maiden TT tenures.
Part of the Peoples Bike Team set up at TT 2018, the former Dundrod 150 Challenge race winner secured during last June’s Mountain Course race action respective 29th, 26th, 19th place finishes within the RST Superbike, Royal London 360 Superstock, Dunlop Senior encounters.
As at TT 2019 Jackson will pilot next summer S1000RR BMW machinery in the 1000cc machinery races of TT 2020.

The tenth fastest TT newcomer of the 2010’s, he’s another one to watch next year and don’t be surprised to see him mixing it with many an established high level event participant.
Alongside a third TT Races campaign, Jackson’s 2020 race plans also includes sampling selected Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough meetings.
Third in September’s Steve Henshaw International Gold Cup, he’s quickly developed into a top level exponent of England’s only closed roads course.
None of his aforementioned TT, Oliver’s Mount feats would have been possible without the support of a loyal band of sponsors which he would like to thank today.
They are as follows: B&C Express, Dunlop, Ohlins, CHC, Aria, Nix Bodyshop Lincoln, Signs Express Lincoln, Evotec Performance, Padgetts Autorama Kawasaki Batley, HMT Tyres.
