Todd to ride for Padgett's in Supersport and Supertwins

Davey Todd is to ride Supersport and Supertwin machinery for Milenco by Padgett's Racing at this year's North West 200 and Isle of Man TT international road races.

The Yorkshire rider will compete on a Honda in the middleweight class and a Paton in the Twins category.

The 29-year-old is riding BMW bikes for the FHO Racing team in the Superbike and Superstock classes.

Todd previously rode for the Padgett's outfit from 2019 to 2023, achieving his first TT podium in the team's colours in the Superstock race in 2022.

He secured a Supersport win double at the North West in 2023, having finished second in four races at the event 12 months previous.

Those victories came on the back of his maiden Supersport success with Padgetts in 2019.

In 2024 Todd won a Superstock race and two Supersport outings at the North West as part of the TAS Racing team and also finished runner-up behind Glenn Irwin in all three Superbike races.

He went on to win the blue riband Senior and Superstock races at the IOM TT.

"It is really cool to be back with the Padgett's team and to have a full quota of bikes for 2025 with just two teams was important to me," said Todd.

"There are so many good memories with the team such as my first international road race win at the NW200 in 2019.

"There have been some rule changes in the last couple of years which have opened things up to make improvements for the CBR 600RR which Clive [Padgett] has done.

"I've never ridden a Paton before so there will be a learning curve. But it is the bike to be on in the Supertwin class."
