Conor Cummins will join Michael Rutter’s Bathams AJN Racing team at the 2026 TT
Manx hero Conor Cummins is set to join Bathams Racing for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Superbike races, as team manager Michael Rutter will not be competing.
Rutter, recovering from injuries sustained in a crash during last year’s TT, has decided to skip TT 2026, leaving Cummins as the sole entry for Bathams Racing this year.
Cummins will ride BMW machinery in the Superbike and Senior races, using the same M1000RR that Storm Stacey utilized in the British Superbike Championship last year.
Additionally, Cummins will compete in the Superstock class for his own Conrod Motorsport team and ride a Suzuki in the Supersport races.
Rutter expressed excitement about having Cummins on board and thanked BMW for their support in bringing the talented rider to the Bathams AJN race team.
