Davey Todd says his factoಞry Paton was “definitely not” identical to Michael Dunlop’s in the Isle of Man TT Supertwin class and suggests it “didn’t want to give away all the secrets”🍨.

Michael Dunlop has dominated the Supertwin class in re𝓀cent years on his Pato𒉰n, with the Northern Irishman completing a clean sweep in 2025.

He registered his 33rd ♎TT victory in Friday’s Supertwin TT🐻 2, beating Todd by almost 30 seconds and setting a new lap 🥀record♐ of 123.056mph in the process.

Todd raced a Paton 🐷with the Padgetts Racing team in the class this year, which he says “was meant to be the same as Michael’s bike” having been purchased from the factory.

But after Supertwin TT 2, he was doubtful of this and critical of a bike “that wasn’t cracked up to ⛦what it was supposed to be”.

“I rode that thing so hard,” he told TT+ afterꦆwards.

“After the first twin raꦰce we were all just super disa꧟ppointed.

“Clive [Padgett] bought that Paton from the factory and it was meant to be🔴 the same as Michael’s bike, and it’s most definitely not.

“I don’t think they wanted to give away all the secrets. So, Clive has worked his butt off to develop that bike and improve it from the first race, and I pulled m༺y finger out.

“I thought I was riding it hard in the first one, but apparently there’s a lot of corn🐲ers here you can take flat that I never knew abo🎃ut.

“Grateful to the Padgetts team for givin💛g me this opportunity and spending all that money on a bike that wasn’t cracked up to what it was supposed to be.

“And they worked so hard t꧃o improve it. I’m just super glad to be able to stick it on the podiu꧟m.

“I’m stoked with P2. Michael on that factory bike🌜, we’ve absolutely no chance of getting there.

“I hung in as best I could. The team did a fantastic pitstop, I’ve got to giv𓃲e it up to them. I’m just excited෴ to hopefully come back stronger next year.”

Todd will be aiming for a sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚecond Superbike win on Saturday when the Senior TT finale gets underway, following his Superbi🅰ke TT victory on Monday.

He was denied a chance to fight for victory 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:in Friday’s Superstock TT 2 due to an issueꦆ getting 🍷his 8TEN Racing BMW restarted at the pitstop.
