Some pieces of the 2016 Isle of Man TT puzzle have been falling into place of late, with a number of the top riders finding seats for the big event.
The Honda Racing team will once again field defending Senior TT winner and 23 times TT champion John McGuinness alongside Manxman Connor Cummins, as he bids to finally take a big bike win on the mountain. McGuinness and Cummins will race the North West 200 for the team, while Cummins will also compete at the Ulster Grand Prix and Macau Grand Prix for the Honda outfit.
William Dunlop will defect from the Tyco BMW team and join forces with the MSS Performance Kawasaki squad for selected British Superstock 1000 races in preparation for his debut with the team at the North West 200, followed by the Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix.
Guy Martin will once again be back after rumors he would retire from racing following his serious accident at the 2015 Ulster Grand Prix where he suffered breaks to his ribs, sternum and vertebrae. He will be joined at Tyco BMW by 11-time TT winner Ian Hutchinson for the Superbike and Superstock TTs. Hutchinson will once again ride for The Prodigy’s front man Keith Flint on the Team Traction Control Yamaha in the Supersport events.
And Norton has announced it will be fielding an all Australian line-up at the 2016 TT, with news David Johnson will team with incumbent Cameron Donald for the event. Norton is expected to bring an all new SG5 machine to the event, developed by former British Supersport Champion, Glenn Richards.
No word yet has been released on what Michael Dunlop will be riding at the TT, but you can be he’ll be there.
