Conor ❀Cummins 🅠has “a point to prove” on his Isle of Man TT comeback, it has been claimed.

Cummins split with Clive Pa🃏dgett’s Honda team mid-event last year, but has been backed to t🐟rouble top riders like Michael Dunlop in 2025.

Cummins has signed with Burrows Engineering 𝓡- he will have a BMW M1000RR machinery for the Superbike and Superstock classes, and a Du🎀cati Panigale V2 in the Supersport.

“I really wanted to be back on the grid at the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT next year and I wanted to be co𒁃mpetitive,” team🍌 owner John Burrows told the .

“When I say I want to be competitive, I know that at the TT you’ve got Dunlop, Dean Harrison, Peter Hickman and Davey Todd 𝐆who are the cream of the crop at the moment.

“But Conor has proven his pace at the TT a♈nd I believe he’s in that bracket just behind those four.”

Burrows ad👍ded: “When a rider moves to a new team, it gives them new fire in their♐ belly and the team gets a fresh rider coming in with new enthusiasm.

“I remember wh🅷en Bruce Anstey left TAS in 2010 and won the last Superbike race at the Ulster Grand Prix. Bruce hadn’t done much by his standards all year and until that race you might have thought that his best days were behind him.

“But he went 🌠to Clive Padgett’s team afterwards and had some very good years.

“With Conor, the fire has well and truly been lit ins🐎ide himꩵ again and he has a point to prove.”

Burrows Engineering previously ran Yamahas in the Super🍸sport class.

They are switching to a Ducati thiﷺs year, in the hands 🌠of Cummins.

Cummins✱ replaced Dominic Herbertson at Burrows Engineering.
