Following the opening two rounds of the 2026 FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, Joe Rascal Racing have confirmed that Cody Wyman will step down from rider duties ahead of the upcoming round at Assen. The American will transition into a new role in the wider Joe Rascal Group, and the team have now announced that Jordi Torres will step in to race for the rest of the campaign.
The experienced Spaniard, who is a Moto2 and WorldSBK race winner, plus a double MotoE World Champion, will make his debut in the Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup at the Tissot Grand Prix of the Netherlands - and it's a venue where the 38-year-old has enjoyed five podiums to date. The 'Spanish Elvis' will become teammates with the current top two in the standings, Archie McDonald and Eric Granado, as Torres now completes a formidable line-up ahead of Round 3.

James Tonna, Team Co-Owner, commented: "We are absolutely stoked to welcome Jordi to the Joe Rascal family. Currently sitting 1-2 in the championship, bringing a rider of Jordi's calibre into the fold adds another layer of strength to our garage. To have a two-time MotoE World Champion who has also competed at the highest level in both MotoGP and WorldSBK join our ranks is a huge advantage.”
Jordi Torres commented: "It is an honour to compete in the FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup with the Joe Rascal Racing team, a highly professional organisation that consistently demonstrates its leadership in this category. I’m very excited to be racing on a Harley-Davidson Bagger, from what I’ve seen, they look agile, powerful and incredibly fun to ride. Watching the first races, they looked spectacular, and I’m eager to find out for myself. Thanks to the team, I get to ride alongside Granado and McDonald, two highly experienced riders I can learn a great deal from. I hope to adapt quickly, and I know the team will make it much easier for me to master the spectacular riding style of Harley-Davidson Baggers."
