In this episode of The Outside Line, Davey Todd opens up about the brutal Daytona crash that left his 2026 road racing season hanging in the balance. He takes us through the difficult recovery process, the desperate race against time to be fit for the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT, and the emotional moment he was told he’d been declared unfit to ride.

Davey speaks candidly about the physical and mental toll of missing two of the biggest events on the road racing calendar, how the news was delivered, and what the setback means for the rest of his season.

The conversation also turns to this year’s Isle of Man TT as Davey gives his insight into the key storylines, the riders to watch, and who he believes could dominate across the classes in 2026.

Max Cook enters his fourth season in the British Superbike Championship with momentum, belief, and a point to prove. After topping the first official test of the year aboard the new Bimota package, confidence in the camp is at an all-time high and with the Grand National just won by ‘I Am Maximus,’ you can’t help but wonder… is this Max’s year?
With full factory backing from Bimota and guidance from World Superbike race winner Alex Lowes, the pieces are finally falling into place. The question is no longer if Max can fight at the front but whether he can go full circle and emulate his mentor by lifting the 2026 British Superbike crown.
In this episode, we dive into the mindset, the machinery, and the moment that could define a career. Is everything aligning for a breakout season?
