Revealing what many have anticipated for months, National Superstock 1000 Champion Davey Todd will join Peter Hickman at FHO Racing BMW Motorrad for TT 2025.
Senior TT winner last June, Todd is rightly now regarded as one of pure road racing’s ‘Aliens’ and today’s news marks a major signal of intent from FHO Racing.
With the two most recent Senior TT conquerors, Faye Ho’s team has in my opinion and that of various others, the strongest TT 2025 rider line-up.
Machines wise, Todd, Hickman will be equipped with BMW’s latest M1000RR model for 1000cc Mountain Course contests.
Issuing his delight about signing for FHO Racing, 2019 IRRC Superbike Champion Todd stated:
“I’m absolutely over the moon to be joining the FHO Racing BMW Motorrad team for 2025 and really excited to be continuing with BMW.
I loved riding the bike this year and to join one of the biggest teams in the paddock is something I’m really looking forward to. Pete’s a good friend of mine so it’s going to be pretty cool to be his team-mate.
BMW wanted to have Pete and myself in the same team, and we all want to be the dominant force. Like I say, Pete’s a good friend of mine and there can only be positives from being in the same team. We’re similar personalities in that we both do our talking on the racetrack but are very laid back and chilled out away from it.
Being alongside each other can only make us both faster and stronger as we’ll share each other’s data and help each other out, improving our strengths and limiting our weaknesses. It can only be a benefit to each of us.”
