TT 2026: Jamie Williams to contest Supersport & Sportbike races

Manxman was a double MGP winner last year

Manx motorcycle racer, Jamie Williams will make his return to the Isle of man TT Races in 2026.

The Island-born rider is due to compete in the Supersport and Sportbike classes for the JLG Racing Powered by NCE Racing squad this summer.

In the Supersport category, he's due to pilot a 'next generation' Suzuki GSX-R750 whilst he'll utilise an Aprilia RS660 in the Supertwin contests.

After claiming two wins at the Manx Grand Prix in 2025, this year will mark Williams' first appearance at the TT in eight years.

In the last 12 months, Williams enjoyed a strong campaign in which he won both the Supersport and Junior MGP Races at the Manx Grand Prix.

He was also on the podium for the other two races in that meeting - the Senior MGP and Supertwin MGP, finishing both in third place - making him the only competitor at the event to be in the winners enclosure for all four races.

On his ambitions for this year's TT, Williams says: "The priority is to finish races and improve consistently through the week. We want to see a 3-4mph increase in our average lap speeds and build momentum session by session. 

"If everything goes to plan, I believe a Top 10 in Supertwin and a Top 15 in Supersport is within our grasp."

His only previous TT experience came back in 2018 where he took on three races with a best finish of 21st in the Lightweight TT.

Meanwhile, NCE Racing Team Principal, Sean Oates, adds: "Last season proved that Jamie is ready for this step. Winning two MGP races and standing on the podium in all four showed consistency as well as speed.

"We’ll approach the TT the same way we approach everything, prepared, focused and steady. We want solid finishes, faster laps and to leave the Island knowing we’ve moved forward again. That’s the objective."

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