Jordan's Racing Journey: A Look Ahead to the 2026 Season
In 2025, Jordan fulfilled a childhood dream by winning the second Supertwin race at the North West 200, a race he had watched as a young boy. He had previously finished on the podium in the Supertwin class at the Isle of Man TT, securing a third place last June on the Jackson Racing Aprilia RS660. However, he considers his fourth-place finish in the second Supersport race at the 2025 festival, behind Michael Dunlop, Dean Harrison, and Davey Todd, to be his best result.
For the upcoming season, Jordan has switched from riding a Honda CBR600RR to an Italian Ducati Panigale V2, which is the same model as Michael Dunlop's winning bike. He will continue to ride 1000cc Honda Fireblade machinery in the Superbike and Superstock races, aiming to improve his performance and move up the ranks.
Jordan expressed his excitement about continuing with the Jackson Racing team for a third consecutive year, citing his best results with them. He believes that the switch to the Ducati will benefit their performance and is looking forward to the upcoming races, especially at the Isle of Man.
Team owner Alan Jackson emphasized the talent and potential of Jordan, highlighting their successful partnership over the past years. They will continue to work together with the goal of further progress and success in the 2026 season. The team will stick with Honda and Aprilia bikes, while the Ducati V2 Panigale will provide Jordan with the necessary tools for success.
In 2022, Jordan secured his first TT podium in the Supertwin TT and set personal best lap times across all classes in the previous season. His impressive lap of 121.899mph in the second Supertwin race made him the third fastest rider ever in the class. With a lap of 126.358mph in the Supersport class on the Jackson Racing Honda, Jordan showcased his potential for even greater achievements in the upcoming races.
In conclusion, Jordan's determination, talent, and partnership with the Jackson Racing team set the stage for an exciting and promising 2026 racing season. With a new Ducati Panigale V2 and a strong foundation from previous successes, Jordan is poised to make further strides in his racing career and continue to impress on the track.
