Brookes Joins Uggly & Co

Uggly & Co will make their debut as a race team at the 2026 Isle of Man TT, signing Australian rider Josh Brookes to contest both Monster Energy Supersport races on a next‑generation Suzuki GSX‑R750.

The move marks a major step for the long‑time paddock supporters, best known for their apparel partnerships and their popular Black Dub viewing spot.

Brookes brings proven pedigree, with six Supersport top‑ten finishes, including fifth and sixth in 2024 and a personal best lap of 125.950mph.

His experience, versatility and past success on the Mountain Course position him as a strong contender for the new project.

The team will run a retro‑inspired livery influenced by 1980s and 1990s racing icons.

Brookes said the new venture is “an exciting project” and believes the GSX‑R750 has strong potential.

Team owner Al Morris said stepping up to run a team reflects the brand’s deep roots in road racing and commitment to supporting riders.
