Isle of Man TT Races: TODD DECLARED UNFIT FOR TT 2026

Isle of Man TT Races: Davey Todd has been declared medically unfit to compete in the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races by the event’s Medical Team following assessment of the injuries sustained during an incident at the Daytona 200 in March and ongoing review of his recovery.

Davey Todd has been declared medically unfit to compete in the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races by the event’s Medical Team following assessment of the injuries sustained during an incident at the Daytona 200 in March and ongoing review of his recovery.

Todd sustained multiple injuries in the accident, including fractures to his femur, tibia, foot and nose. Following initial surgery in the United States, he subsequently underwent an intensive rehabilitation programme at a specialist recovery clinic in Italy.

Throughout this period, Todd has remained in regular contact with the TT Medical Team, with ongoing cooperation between his treating clinicians and Manx Roadracing Medical Services (MRMS) — the organisation responsible for providing medical services for the Isle of Man TT Races on behalf of ACU Events Ltd.

While Todd’s rehabilitation and functional recovery have progressed positively in recent weeks, a detailed review conducted by a panel of specialists in Emergency Medicine, Orthopaedics, and Trauma Surgery concluded that the injuries sustained would not recover sufficiently in advance of the event to safely withstand the exceptional physical demands associated with competition on the TT Course.

Speaking on the decision, Todd 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.”

What are the Isle of Man TT Races
There are very few sporting events in the world with the tradition, heritage, and prestige of the Isle of Man TT Races. Despite being the world’s oldest continuous motorsports event, the TT remains, however, as fascinating and relevant today – continuously inspiring new generations of riders to come and race the Mountain Course.

Largely unchanged since 1911, the 37.73 miles of public roads simply capture the imagination like no other motorcycling venue can. The TT Course, whilst difficult to learn, is even harder to master – requiring immense levels of skill and concentration as speeds nudge an incredible 200mph.

2026 TT Schedule is available at – https://www.iomttraces.com/racing/page/schedule/

In June 2025, it was announced that Amazon MGM Studios had picked up a film and docuseries package centred on the Isle of Man TT Races. The feature film is being produced by Free Association, Plan B and Entertainment 360, with Channing Tatum and Eve Hewson attached to star and Reid Carolin directing.
