In this episode of Beyond the Paddock, Chris Pritchard meets Jamie Coward at the Ginger Hall to reflect on a period of uncertainty, recovery and renewed ambition ahead of TT 2026.

Jamie looks back on missing last year’s Isle of Man TT Races following a crash that left him questioning whether to continue competing on the Mountain Course.

He explains how returning to competition at the Classic TT in 2025, and proving his pace against the clock, played a decisive role in committing to another TT campaign.

The conversation also explores a significant change in direction for 2026, as Coward parts ways with KTS Racing after six seasons and begins a new chapter with the Rapid Honda team, alongside a separate programme with Padgett’s Motorcycles in the Sportbike class.
