Davey Todd wins shortened Isle of Man TT Superbike race

Davey Todd secured victory in the 2025 Isle of Man TT Superbike race, leading from start to finish in a shortened four-lap contest despite a slow pitstop and late pressure from Michael Dunlop. Riding a Superstock-spec BMW with a Superbike engine for his 8TEN Racing team, Todd held a commanding lead before narrowly fending off Dunlop by 1.296 seconds, even as his bike unexpectedly cut out just after crossing the finish line. The race was delayed over an hour due to oil spills on the course and saw Todd set the fastest lap at 135.327 mph. Michael Dunlop mounted a late challenge, reducing Todd's lead to mere tenths of a second before being held off, while Honda's Dean Harrison finished third. This win marked Todd's third Isle of Man TT victory and a successful debut for the 8TEN Racing team, which had lost co-owner Peter Hickman to injury earlier in the week. The event highlighted Todd's tactical approach and adaptability amid changing track conditions and race-day challenges.
