Davey Todd has reiterated that he didn’t want to𒅌 remain in the Superstock class in 2024.

Todd was overlooked in favour of Roཧry Skinner by TAS R🌸acing for a British Superbike Championship race seat on their Cheshire Mouldings BMW last season.

However, with TAS Racing he claimed a career-best year whic🤡h yielded the Superstock title plus his maiden Isle of Man TT race win.

Todd’s 2025ꦛ has already included a major change - leaving FHO Racing, where he was s𝓰et to team up with Peter Hickman, to co-founding 8TEN Racing together, with support from BMW Motorrad.

“It’s been a change-up, I guess𝐆 not so much last minute because it was sort of worked out a while back,” Todd told the .

“But it👍’s something really exciting that’s happened with racing under a new banner witꦚh 8TEN Racing, myself and Hickman.

“We’r🌳e supported by BMW so we’re still on the M1000RR, the 2025 model that’s just been built, and I’m back on the Padgett’s 600 as well – two things I’m really excited about.

“Not saying too m🌱uch, it wasn’t a choice of my own to stay in Superstock last year and I wanted to be in Superbike.

“So now I’ve got🍸 the opportunity to be in the Superbike class and I want to do a good job there as well𝓡.”

Skinner, wꦿho was picked instead of Todd by TAS Racing in 2024, finished 17th overall in the British Superbike Championship.

His year was highligℱhted by a victory at Knockhill, on home ground in Scotland.

Howev♔er, Skinner’s season was also disrupted by injury.

TAS Racing will switch from BMW to Ducati this year, and have signed up Skinner a🍷gain.

Todd will have the opportunity to꧟ pit his wits against Skinner - and against the TAS Racing team ✱who overlooked him - over a full BSB campaign in 2025.

Todd is arriving into h♏is debut BSB ♔season after a career-best year.

He won races at all the major road racing eventওs, including the Isle of Man T🧸T, as well as capturing a second National Superstock title.

His new teammate Hickman was 15th in BSB in 2024.
