Rider missed 2025 meeting due to injury
Jamie Coward is describing it as 'an absolute pleasure' to be making his return to the TT this year.
The Yorkshireman was a notable absentee twelve months ago due to injuries sustained in an incident at the North West 200 a few weeks previous.
Back to now and there's been some significant changes for Coward as he takes on 2026 with a new team - Rapid Honda with DriveLife - in the 1000cc and Supersport classes and then with the Milenco by Padgett's squad for the Sportbike category.
Speaking to Radio TT during today's opening untimed practice, he says he also feels in good shape physically:
