Beyond the Paddock: Conor Cummins | Isle of Man TT Races

In this episode of Beyond the Paddock, Chris Pritchard meets Conor Cummins at Paramount City Coffee House in Douglas to reflect on two decades at the TT and building for 2026 on his own terms. Now approaching 20 years since his TT debut, Cummins looks back on recent seasons defined by change, and rebuilding momentum. After a return to stability in 2025, the conversation explores why consistency and finishing races became a crucial foundation rather than chasing outright pace. Attention then turns to a major shift for 2026, as Cummins launches his own operation, Conrod Motorsport. From team-building and resource management to machinery choices across Superbike and Supersport, the episode offers insight into what it takes to balance life as rider, team owner and competitor, while continuing to look forward rather than back. _______________________________________________ Sign up to TT+ for Live Coverage and exclusive FREE content: https://ttplus.iomttraces.com/browse To find out more visit https://www.iomttraces.com, the official home of the TT.
