The 36-year-old has won a record 13 Supersport races and the past six to switch from Honda to BMW for the Superbike, Senior, and Superstock races, as well as a Ducati V2 for the Supersport races.

A potential success for the Italian manufacturer in the Supersport races would give Ducati their first TT victory since 1995 because the Northern Ireland rider has previously won races on BMW, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Paton machinery.

He claimed a hat-trick at the recent North West 200 to support the TT.

Peter Hickman, who left his partnership with FHO Racing and now campaigns for BMW, Triumph, and Yamaha machinery, once more in the various classes. His 1, 000cc efforts this year are now being promoted by the 8TEN Racing team.

The 14-time Superbike champion from Lincolnshire won just one title last year in the Superbike class, finishing with three second places in the Supertwins (two) and the Superstock.

The 38-year-old holds the record for lap times on his Superstock BMW in 2023, a lap speed of 136.358 mph.

Twelve months ago, Davey Todd won his first Superstock class victory, followed by a triumph in the Blue Rib Senior.

The Yorkshireman, who also competes in the Supersports and Supertwins, campaigns for Padgett’s Racing as his team-mate and co-owner with their 8TEN Racing team on BMWs. He is also a treble winner at the NW200.

Dean Harrison, a three-time champion, is competing in all the “big bike” events for Honda Racing in his second year. Having already accumulated 30 podium finishes to date, three of which wins, will aim for more strong finishes. In addition, they will aim for the Supersport category. His most recent success was in the 2019 Senior.
