Jamie Coward joins new team for 2026

TT podium finisher left KTS Racing in late 2025

TT competitor, Jamie Coward has confirmed who he will race for in 2026.

The Yorkshireman joins the Rapid Honda by Marvel HCL Motorsport team which will make its debut on the Snaefell Mountain Course later this year.

Coward - a two-time TT podium finisher - will contest the Superbike, Superstock and Senior races at TT 2026 on board Honda Fireblade machinery.

He will also take on the two Supersport races on a Honda CBR600RR.

Speaking on the move, the rider says it's a 'fresh start', adding he's 'really motivated and super excited' about the possibilities for the year ahead.

This change comes after it was announced in October 2025 that Coward had mutually agreed to part ways with KTS Racing after a six-year spell with the squad.

Rapid Honda by Marvel HCL Motorsport Team Owner, Matt Bainbridge adds: "The team we have put together, not just the riders, but everyone involved is a special group. 

"Committed, dedicated and before we have even turned a wheel I am incredibly proud of them all."

Separately, Ash Barnes and Declan Connell will race for the team in the Pirelli National Superstock Series in which Coward is also expected to make appearances in selected rounds.
