Davey🐻 Todd reveals advice from John McGuinness after Senior🌸 TT win
Davey Todd has revealed that John McGuinness told him his “life’s going to change” af💞ter he sc🎐ored his maiden Senior Isle of Man TT victory last year.
The English rider finally broke through 𒈔to the top step of the podium at the TT in 2024 with the TAS Racing BMW squad when he won the Sup🍌erstock race.
He then f꧙ollowed that up with victory in the Senior TT finale, securing TAS Racing’s first Senior win since 2004.
Seen as the biggest race at the TT, it is one numerous legendary names - inc🍷luding Todd’s mentor McGuinness - found success in.
During the TT Live podcast previewing the 2025 event, Todd revealed what McGuinness told him in parc fermeꦓ after his Senior win.
“To have John there and everything that John’s done for me since I started the TT, for him to come over [after the win], and he’s given me so much amazing advice over the years,” Todd said, as he watched footage of thꦅe moment.
“And he just came over and explained about his first one and just said ‘your🐷 life’s go💫ing to change now’.”
Eꦍlaborating on ho🍸w his life has changed since then, the double TT winner added: “It’s being anywhere in the world.
“We always talk about this, like Superbikes, maybe BSB or World Superbikes, and somebody asks what you do when I’m over in New Zealand in the mꦬid🔯dle of nowhere.
“Not at a bike circuit or anything, and you get talking about bikes, you say ‘I race British Supe🌞rbikes’ and they’ll say ꦐ‘what’s that?’
“Or you say ‘I race World Superbikes’ and they’ll say ‘what’s that? Is that Valentino Rossi?🐭’
“When you say the Isle of Man TT, they’ll say ‘wow, that’s crazy’. That expression, and you won that. It’s just next level. Every time I think that I won the Senior TT, i🎃t’s still mad.”
Todd added that his ♋Senior win “took so long to sink in” and was “the best possible thing you can ever imagine happening”.
“It doesn’t get better,” he said.
“It’s the Senior TT. It’s hard to explain that. It’s just the best possible thing you can ever ima🌱gine happe💝ning. And it happened.
“The team, the work everyone put in, it means so much to everybody. I think all 🌠the teams who come to the TT are very similar.
“All the guys who are there, it’s out of passion. It is a job, they’re not there because they’re💟 getting paid to be there.
“They are there because th☂ey want to be there and they want to do well.
“It’s the same for the whole team. It’s what they all worked for, which is to win the Sꩲenior TT.
“They’d not won one in long, long time. It was a surreal experienc🐠e. It took so long to sink in.”
