By At last! News regarding top twenty seeded riders, taking in the 2025 TT Races.
Today’s first twenty starters update is pinpointed around the 4-lap Monster Energy Supersport encounters.
First away in 2024, Jackson Racing’s Paul Jordan retains the No.1 plate.
Ten seconds later, next scheduled to buzz down Glencrutchery Road is ‘Davo’, David Johnson. The 2019 Superbike Classic TT winner, lines up on Kawasaki tackle, thanks to CD Racing and MSS Performance.
Next up on the starting is Honda Racing UK’s Dean Harrison, keen to regain middleweight class success, he last enjoyed in 2018.
Now factory Triumph backed Jamie Coward (KTS Macadam Triumph Factory Racing) goes at four whilst 30 TT victories cover the five, six plate occupiers, Jamie Hillier tipped to be back within the Bournemouth Kawasaki fold and class master Michael Dunlop on potentially V2 Panigale Ducati equipment.
The remainder of the scheduled first ten starters are twice British Superbike Champion, Josh Brookes (Jackson Racing), Davey Todd reunited with Milenco by Padgetts, Michael Browne (Boyce Precision Engineering by Russell Racing) and Mountain Course lap-record holder, Peter Hickman (Trooper Triumph/PHR Performance).
New V2 Panigale Ducati pilots BE/RK Racing’s Conor Cummins, 16 times TT victor, MLav Racing’s Ian Hutchinson, hold the eleven, twelve plates with the 13-plate taken by fans favourite Dominic Herbertson.
Respective fourteen, fifteen, sixteen plate carriers Bathams AJN Racing’s Craig Neve, SMT Racing’s Rob Hodson, 750 Suzuki vaulted Jim Hind, all have the potential to spring a surprise or two.
