Jordan, Trummer Signed for Jackson Racing
Cycle News Staff | February 21, 2024
The Jackson Racing Team will return to the Isle of Man for the 2024 TT festival and will have Northern Ireland’s Paul Jordan and Austria’s Julian Trummer at the helm. Both riders will campaign Honda CBR1000RR machinery in the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock and Milwaukee Senior races as well as the new Honda CBR600RR in the two Monster Energy Supersport races.

32-year-old Jordan joins after a best year in 2022 in which he took third in the Supertwins race, as well as personal best performances in 2023 in which he set 128.271 mph and 125.544 mph lap times in the 1000cc and 600cc classes, respectively.
“I’m really happy to be joining Jackson Racing and with all the experience they have both at the TT and with Honda machinery,” Jordan said. “The bikes look pristine as usual, and both Alan and Andy (Jackson) are really motivated to have a great TT 2024.
“I’m especially looking forward to getting on the 600cc Honda, a bike with so much history and success, particularly at the TT, and if I can crack the top five, I’ll be over the moon. At the same time, I’m aiming to make a jump forward on the big bike, too. People still see me as a rider who does well on the smaller bikes, so I’ve a few things still to prove on the 1000cc machines and having Julian as my teammate should spur us both on to better things.”
For Trummer, the Jackson Racing appointment is the culmination of eight years of grafting at the TT in which he became the fastest European to lap the TT course in 2023, setting a 128.638 mph lap.
“I’ve put in a lot of effort in the last eight years to get a chance to ride for a prestigious team and finally it seems someone has noticed,” Trummer said. “I’m getting the chance of my life and I’m super happy and excited to start working with the new team. I think my motivation and determination, mixed with their technical know-how and experience, will enable me to make the next step towards the front. I obviously want to do well on the big bike, but I think I can also only profit on the 600, and having Paul as a teammate can only be beneficial.” CN
