Isle of Man TT record-breaker “sadly” confirms major U-turn for 2025
Major change of original plan for three-wheelers

Michael Russell has been forced to 𒀰make a major change ahead of the 2025 Isl𓂃e of Man TT.
Russell 🀅Road Racing🔥 have withdrawn from all three-wheeled races next year.
Russell,🀅 a r𝐆egular in solo and sidecar categories, raced alongside Vicky Cooke.
But they failed to start𝄹 the first sidecar race, e💎arlier this year, at the Isle of Man TT. Then they retired early from the second race.
Jake Roberts joined Russell, after th꧟e TT, for the Southern 100 Road Races.
They were dec🐬lared🌠 third, then retired from the Sidecar Championship.
But despite initi🍰ally ꦯannouncing they would return together for the 2025 Isle of Man TT, those plans have been shelved.
A team statement confirmed: “Just a quick post to sadly announce that the team will be withdrawing from 3 wheeling racing throughout 2025 due to cir💜cumstances out of o🐎ur control.
“We would like to wish Jake every success with wherever his ventures take him, and the team are looking forward to racing some solo machinery th♌roughout the season.
“Keep an eye ou⛄t for some updates in the new year.
“Regards the RRR Team.”
Russell is a legend at the TT,🎀 who made history in 202𝓰2 by starting every race at the event, both solo and sidecar.
