8Ten Racing Targets BSB Gains, Road‑Race One‑Twos in Better‑Prepared 2026

The team says a full preseason has it ready to improve on short circuits after a hurried 2025.

Overview

  • Davey Todd and Peter Hickman return for a second year with 8Ten to tackle a full BSB campaign plus the North West 200, the Isle of Man TT and possibly further road events.
  • Todd prioritizes improving his short‑circuit form after limited 2025 testing left him with a BSB best of 14th in his first full season.
  • The riders say they are far better prepared for year two and happy with their BMWs after forming the team at short notice last season.
  • Hickman calls 2026 a rebuild year following injuries from his 2025 TT crash, noting his comeback at Macau and subsequent BSB points finishes.
  • Buoyed by their 1‑2 at Macau to close 2025, 8Ten is openly targeting multiple one‑two finishes in this year’s major road races.
