As revealed by bikesportnews.com yesterday, Conor Cummins has switched to the Valvoline by Padgett’s team for this year’s Supersport and Superstock Isle of Man TT races after splitting with Jackson Racing.

The Manxman will continue to campaign his Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP in the RST Superbike and PokerStars Senior TT races with the Honda Racing factory team.

“I’ve known Clive Padgett for many years. He actually sold me my first ever race bike, a second hand RS125 and I’ve always been impressed with the way that the team prepares the bikes. They have a record that’s second to none around the Isle of Man. I’m really excited about representing the team and it will be a real honour to ride in the famous team colours,” he said.
