Conor Cummins (born 27 May 1986, in Douglas, Isle of Man) is a Manx motorcycle road racer who rides in British racing events, competing in the British Superstock Championship, as well as in specialist closed-road events at his home Isle of Man TT races and in Northern Ireland.
[9] For 2008, Cummins rode for Team VanFit Yamaha in the British Superstock Championship, starting with a third place at Oulton Park.
On 20 August, it was announced that he had parted company with the Vanfit team and would miss the final four rounds of the British Superstock Championship.
On 13 August, Cummins won the Dundrod 150 Superbike race, part of the Ulster Grand Prix Bike week.
[citation needed] In the two Supersport races, he took eighth in the first four-lapper and followed this up with a sixth in the second, 0.23 s behind John McGuinness, also recording his first 125 mph+ lap in the class.
[citation needed] Cummins signed to ride for the factory TAS Tyco Suzuki Team in 2012 along with team-mate Guy Martin.
He received an injured wrist during the North West 200 Superbike race, and this meant that his campaign at the 2012 Isle of Man TT had to be reviewed.
As he entered the chicane at Mather's Cross, he was struck by Gary Johnson and the resulting collision also included Martin Jessop - who suffered a broken collarbone.
Cummins finished third in the Lightweight TT Race, riding a KMR Kawasaki prepared by fellow racer Ryan Farquhar.
[citation needed] In May 2016, Cummins announced his switch from long-term, Preston-based sponsor Jackson Racing to Batley-based team Padgetts for the Supersport 600 and Superstock classes at the 2016 Isle of Man TT.
[18] Conor joins rider Bruce Anstey at Padgetts, a long-term family-owned motorcycle dealership and race sponsor.
Cummins announced on social media that he would withdraw from the 2024 Isle of Man TT, and would part ways with Padgetts Honda.
