- Three TT victories and a personal best of 135.664 mph
- Starting at the Daytona 200 from March 5 to 7
- Competing in the North West 200 and the TT 2026 on Triumph
Davey Todd is setting a new course for the 2026 road racing season. In the Supersport class, the Brit will race a Triumph, both at the North West 200 and at the TT. This brings him even closer to Peter Hickman, with whom he already has a business relationship.
Which team will Davey Todd ride for in the 2026 Supersport class?
Todd will race for Peter Hickman Racing’s PHR Performance team in 2026, riding the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS in the Supersport class. Alongside the TT and the North West 200, the programme also includes the Daytona 200 in Florida for the first time.
Things get going at Daytona from March 5 to 7. It will be Todd’s first ever start at the Florida race. Peter Hickman is also returning to the event, having crossed the line in fourth there in 2025. The two share more than just a team. Since FHO Racing cut back its involvement in racing, they have been running the 8TEN Racing team together, which also makes them business partners.
How successful has Davey Todd been at the TT so far?
Davey Todd has won three races at the TT so far. His best lap of 135.664 mph, set in 2024, puts him fourth on the all-time list.
Todd’s first podium on the Mountain Course came in 2022, when he finished third in the Superstock race. The big breakthrough followed two years later: in 2024 he first won the Superstock race and then, at the end of race week, the Senior TT as well. A third win came in 2025, this time in the very first race of the event, the Superbike race.
Which brands has Todd ridden in the Supersport class recently?
Todd has recently changed manufacturer every year in the Supersport class. In 2024 he rode a Ducati, in 2025 a Honda. With the Triumph Street Triple 765, a third brand now follows in 2026. Todd has already completed his first laps on the Street Triple 765.
Todd commented on his collaboration with the PHR Performance Triumph Team:
“I’m super excited to be joining the PHR Performance Triumph team for the Daytona 200 and also on the roads. It’ll be my first time at Daytona, not only to watch but also to compete in the event itself; it’s something I’ve wanted to do for years and to be on the Triumph, a winning bike, alongside my good friend Pete is going to be really fun.”
He added:
“I know we can go there, be super competitive and do a good job for Triumph. I’ve already had a few laps on the Street Triple 765 and my initial feeling is that it’s a really good Supersport package. It’s different to what I’ve ridden in the past, but in a good way, and I’m already feeling comfortable.”
Looking ahead to the road races, he added:
“I’ll also be with PHR on the roads, and excited to be continuing with the 765 in the Supersport classes at the NW200 and the Isle of Man TT. We already know that the Street Triple is competitive on the roads from what ‘Hicky’ has done; I have also battled against him, so I know firsthand how strong the bike is.”
Outlook for the 2026 season
With the move to Triumph and the expanded program including the Daytona 200, Todd is facing an intense 2026 season. The combination of proven 765 technology, close collaboration with Peter Hickman and his experience on the Mountain Course creates a clear starting point for the upcoming road races.
What does that mean for me as a road racing fan?
As a road racing fan, the main focus of this change is on the sporting constellation. The combination of Davey Todd, who has consistently achieved podium finishes and victories at the TT in recent years, and the proven Triumph Street Triple 765 promises a new balance of power in the Supersport class. What I find particularly exciting is the close collaboration with Peter Hickman, as two proven road racing specialists will be competing on identical equipment. This increases comparability within the team and adds extra sporting excitement to the TT, the North West 200, and the Daytona 200.
Update (22 October 2026): Davey Todd was seriously injured at the Daytona 200 in Florida in March 2026. Among other injuries, he broke his left femur as well as his right tibia and right foot. The TT medical team subsequently declared him unfit to compete at the TT 2026.
