Davey Todd will strengthen his ties with Peter Hickman as he announces he will race a Triumph 765 in the Supersport class for PHR Performance at the Isle of Man TT.<\/p>\n
Isle of Man TT legend Hickman and three-time winner Todd joined forces last year when they founded 8TEN Racing to compete on the roads.<\/p>\n
The project came after FHO Racing, who they were both due to race for, pulled out of its racing activities for the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
Hickman was injured during practice week for the TT and missed the races, though Todd scored a maiden victory for 8TEN Racing in the Superbike contest.<\/p>\n
Riding Honda machinery last year and scoring a brace of podiums, Todd will switch to Triumph power in the class after partnering with Hickman\u2019s PHR Performance outfit.<\/p>\n

It will mark Todd\u2019s third different bike in the Supersport class in as many years, having used Ducati bikes in 2024.<\/p>\n
Todd will also contest the Daytona 200 for the first time with PHR.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super excited to be joining the PHR Performance Triumph team for the Daytona 200 and also on the roads,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll be my first time at Daytona, not only to watch but also to compete in the event itself; it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know we can go there, be super competitive and do a good job for Triumph.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve already had a few laps on the Street Triple 765 and my initial feeling is that it is a really good Supersport package, it\u2019s different to what I have ridden in the past, but in a good way, and I\u2019m already feeling comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe already know that the Street Triple is competitive on the roads from what \u2018Hicky\u2019 has done; I have also battled against him, so I know firsthand how strong the bike is.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super excited to get going with this project with Daytona first, a huge thanks to the guys at Triumph Racing and also to PHR and Pete for putting this together for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Davey Todd will strengthen his ties with Peter Hickman as he announces he will race a Triumph 765…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,28425,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-475690","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-road-racing","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
