Datzer joins McCormack at Roadhouse Macau at TT 2026

Between them they're expected to feature across all solo classes

German rider, David Datzer will team up with Brian McCormack to form the Roadhouse Macau team at the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.

For 2024 IRRC Superbike Champion, Datzer it'll be a long-awaited return to the Snaefell Mountain Course having missed last year's event due to injuries sustained in another meeting earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, 42-year-old McCormack continues his ongoing association with the team and has been an ever-present at the TT since 2010.

Both riders respectively are expected to complete across all solo classes.

Last year, Datzer had also been due to race for Roadhouse Macau at the Isle of Man TT but was unable to attend after suffering serious injuries in an incident at the 2025 Stare Mesto road races in the Czech Republic.

Now, ahead of his return, the 33-year-old says his dream is to lap the mountain course at 130mph, adding: "I’m looking forward to a great and successful season with Roadhouse Macau. 

"I’d like to improve on my best lap time, riding the BMW M1000RR - a bike that I know well. 

"After my injuries in 2025, the most important thing is to be back on the bike, fit, and enjoying the Mountain Course again."

Meanwhile, McCormack says: “I’m really looking forward to 2026 and to having the team I wanted in 2025. 

"David couldn’t race with us last year because of his injuries but he’s now fully recovered, we want to help him reach his goals at the TT.  

"It’s been a busy winter as a team owner, organising everything while still preparing myself, but I’m in really good shape and great people around us with excellent sponsors and partners.”

Both riders will ride BMW M1000RR machinery in this year's Senior, Superbike and Superstock races whilst the duo will be on board the Global Robots/PHR Performance Triumph in the Supersport races.

Separately, McCormack is also expected to be involved in the new Sportbike TT class on a Global Robots Aprilia RS660.

The 2026 Isle of Man TT Races are due to take place from Monday, 25 May to Saturday, 6 June.
