Paul Jordan has re-signed to continue with the Jackson Racing team but the third year of this partnership brings with it a change of bike.

Jordan will once again race all four solo classes for Jackson Racing at this year’s Isle of Man TT road races, but while he will remain on a Honda CBR1000RR-R in the Superbike and Superstock classes, and with an Aprilia RS 660 in the Sportbike class (with which he took a Supertwin podium last year, before the class was renamed), Jackson Racing has made a change to its Supersport machinery for 2026.

Instead of the Honda CBR600RR, the team will run a Ducati Panigale V2 for Jordan, the same bike that Michael Dunlop won both Supersport TTs with in 2025.

“With the exception of the Supersport class, everything’s the same with the Jackson Racing team this year and continuing with them for a third successive year was a no-brainer,” said Jordan.

“I’ve had my best results with them so I’m looking forward to getting going for another year. The aim is to build on a strong 2025 season and I’m hoping we can move up the ladder that bit more.

“The switch to the Ducati is something that I believe will stand us in good stead and I’ve already had a couple of outings on the bike so continuing with the same team, same crew and same bikes gives us a solid foundation in terms of preparation and confidence. 

“I’m looking forward to getting back to the Island and getting the racing underway.”

Alan Jackson, Jackson Racing team owner, added: “It’ll be our third year together with Paul [Jordan] and that speaks volumes of how we see his talent and potential and having already enjoyed some good success together, none more so than last year’s Supertwin TT podium, we’re hoping to keep building and keep progressing in 2026 with the continuity helping us improve on last year. 

“We’re sticking with the Honda and Aprilia whilst the Ducati V2 Panigale will be the same as Michael Dunlop’s and it’s all with the aim of giving Paul the tools to do the job. 

“We’re also continuing with Prosper2 for the third year, and we simply want Paul to go out there and enjoy himself and if he does that, the results will come.”
