By Deemed unfit for the past week’s Briggs Equipment Northwest 200, 8TEN Racing BMW’s Davey Todd is-now confirmed to not be taking part as well in this year’s TT Races, post an evaluation conducted by the TT’s medical squad.
Ever since leg (tibia & femur), foot, nose injuries via a well-documented major incident at Daytona, the three times TT winner participation within the world’s most famous road race has looked in jeopardy.
Stating his obvious disappointment to been determined unfit for TT 2026 qualifying sessions, races, the 2024 Senior race winner said:
“I’m absolutely gutted to say I’m not going to be on the start line for TT 2026, especially given all the work that’s gone in over the last nine weeks.
I’ve done everything possible to get myself into a position to race, and I’m so grateful to everyone involved in my treatment at Formula Medicine in Italy.
Plus, the awesome support from BMW Motorrad, Monster Energy, and all the amazing people around me. We’ve left no stone unturned and tried everything possible with the goal of being back for the TT, but unfortunately, we’ve just run out of time.
The focus now shifts to next year so I can come back stronger than ever. In the meantime, I’ll be supporting my 8TEN Racing team from the sidelines.”
