Paul Jordan has re-signed to continue with the Jackson Racing team for the third year in a row, but the continuation in rider comes with a key change in machinery for the team.
Until last year, Jackson Racing had run a Honda CBR600RR in the Supersport class, but that will change this year as the team takes on a Ducati Panigale V2 for Jordan to run in the TT’s middleweight class.
In the other classes, things stay the same: Honda CBR1000RR-R in Superbike and Superstock, and Aprilia RS 660 in the newly renamed Sportbike (formerly Supertwin) class for Jordan at this year’s TT road races.
“With the exception of the Supersport class, everything’s the same with the Jackson Racing team this year and continuing with them for a third successive year was a no-brainer,” said Jordan.
“I’ve had my best results with them so I’m looking forward to getting going for another year. The aim is to build on a strong 2025 season and I’m hoping we can move up the ladder that bit more.
“The switch to the Ducati is something that I believe will stand us in good stead and I’ve already had a couple of outings on the bike so continuing with the same team, same crew and same bikes gives us a solid foundation in terms of preparation and confidence.
“I’m looking forward to getting back to the Island and getting the racing underway.”
Alan Jackson, Jackson Racing team owner, added: “It’ll be our third year together with Paul [Jordan] and that speaks volumes of how we see his talent and potential and having already enjoyed some good success together, none more so than last year’s Supertwin TT podium, we’re hoping to keep building and keep progressing in 2026 with the continuity helping us improve on last year.
“We’re sticking with the Honda and Aprilia whilst the Ducati V2 Panigale will be the same as Michael Dunlop’s and it’s all with the aim of giving Paul the tools to do the job.
“We’re also continuing with Prosper2 for the third year, and we simply want Paul to go out there and enjoy himself and if he does that, the results will come.”
