The 2026 Isle of Man TT is already full of exciting stories even before it begins. Davey Todd's inability to race due to health issues has left the Superbike and Senior TT categories completely open. Two names stand out as potential replacements: Peter Hickman and Dean Harrison.
Hickman's Return
Peter Hickman went through a period in 2025 where many said he "could no longer race" after a serious accident. However, Hickman not only bounced back, but also proved his confidence in the TT by delivering strong performances at the North West 200. This comeback is poised to become one of motorsport's most inspiring stories.
Harrison's Golden Opportunity
Dean Harrison is perhaps in the best form of his career this season with Honda. Todd's absence and Hickman's lack of full rhythm open up a huge window of opportunity for Harrison. His chances are higher than ever, especially in the six-lap Senior TT.
CFMOTO Makes Its Debut on TT
One of the interesting developments of 2026 is the participation of the Chinese motorcycle brand CFMOTO in the TT for the first time. Coming with modest ambitions in the shadow of the big teams, CFMOTO could become a greater force in the coming years.
Sidecar Category
Ryan and Callum Crowe, brothers, are once again the favorites in the Sidecar category after their record-breaking campaign in 2025. The motorcycle they developed with Honda received significant updates over the winter.
TT 2026 will conclude with the Senior TT on June 6th. We at frenyok.com will be sharing all race results and updates with you. 🏍️
