Eleven times top fifteen TT finisher, Michael Evans:
“After a strong first season together, I’m delighted to be continuing with Dafabet Racing and preparation is firmly underway with pre-season testing already taking place in Spain.
I will be on the same Honda Fireblade, which served me so well last year, in the Superstock and Superbike races, whilst the team has also purchased a brand-new Triumph for the Supersport races.
I’m really excited about that as it’s a bike I know well and have had satisfactory results on in the past.
Preparation for the season is going well, and I am training with AStar, Dave Smyth Yoga and at Elite Gym to make sure I’m the fittest I’ve ever been for this year.
I am looking forward to building on the strong results we achieved, especially after joining the 130mph Club in 2025.”
Co-Owner of Dafabet Racing, Ben Constable:
“Retaining Mikey was at the top of our priority list for 2026 as we could not have been happier with how our first season together went. The results were excellent and, as a team, we want to be finishing consistently inside the top ten at the TT.
Mikey achieved that last year whilst also recording his first 130mph lap, and we firmly- believe there is more to come from him on the big bike.
He has already proven himself in the Supersport class, so adding the Triumph to our programme was a straightforward decision and we’re confident he can continue progressing in all classes, including the Senior TT.”
