www.the-race.comDavey Todd has recently been ruled medically unfit to compete at the 2026 Isle of Man TT due to injuries from a Daytona crash, with doctors determining he cannot safely race this year. He’s also been unable to participate in the North West 200 and will not race TT 2026, as medical staff concluded the recovery time needed would exceed what’s feasible before the event. Todd is focusing on rehabilitation and will support his 8TEN Racing team from the sidelines, with plans to return next year if he recovers fully.[1][2]

- Status: Medically unfit for TT 2026 after injuries including fractures to the femur, tibia, foot, and nose from the March Daytona incident.[1]
- Impact: No start at TT 2026; season expectations shifted toward 2027 if recovery is complete.[2]
- Rehabilitation: Ongoing with consultations among his treating clinicians and MRMS, plus rehabilitation at a specialist center in Italy.[1]
