Davey Todd is to miss this year’s Isle of Man TT after being declared medically unfit to compete by the event’s medical team.
The decision was made following assessment of the injuries the three-time TT winner sustained in a crash at the Daytona 200 races in Florida in early March and ongoing review of his recovery.
Todd sustained multiple injuries in the incident, including fractures to his femur, tibia, foot and nose.
Following initial surgery in the United States, the Yorkshire rider subsequently had an intensive rehabilitation programme at a specialist recovery clinic in Italy.
The 30-year-old was also ruled out of last week’s North West 200 in Northern Ireland because of the injuries.
A statement released by the TT organisers explained the reasoning behind the decision.
“While Todd’s rehabilitation and functional recovery have progressed positively in recent weeks, a detailed review conducted by a panel of specialists in Emergency Medicine, Orthopaedics, and Trauma Surgery concluded that the injuries sustained would not recover sufficiently in advance of the event to safely withstand the exceptional physical demands associated with competition on the TT Course,” the statement said.
Todd won Superstock and Senior TT races in 2024 and followed that up with a success in the Superbike class in 2025.
