Spacer Evergreen Michael Rutter, a four time TT Race winner, has signed with Team Penz13.com BMW Racing for the 2015 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy.

Rutter will be equipped with a full spec superbike and a superstock, both based on the 2015 BMW S1000RR. To complete the team Penzkofer has resigned Stephen Thompson and Dan Kruger to represent the Penz13.com Bathams by BMW Motorrad outfit at the TT Races as well as the other international road races. Both have already raced for the team at the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix in November 2014.

The popular midlands based rider caught up with his new team in a recent test at Almeira in Spain, where they tested the latest BMW machinery BMW S1000RR superbikes for the upcoming season.  Rutter tested alongside the team's FIM World Endurance riders Markus Reiterberger, Bastien Mackels and Pedro Vallcaneras.

Team boss Rico Penzkofer commented:
"It's great to have such a legend as Michael is on board for this exciting season. I always had tremendous passion for real road racing, having raced at various meetings during my own professional career. We have only for meetings in the WEC that fortunately does not clash with any of the big road racing meetings. So we thought it would be good to level up on the roads too. Michael is obviously a very experienced rider with an incredible race record - 4 TT wins, 17 NW200 Wins and 8 Macau GP victories - I had to get him signed. We are now preparing his personal bikes in our work shop and can't wait to get going in May"

Michael Rutter commented:
"I am very happy to ride for the team even though it looked a bit like a long shot as the team is based in Germany. Obviously they have the best bikes available for this job and I am pretty confident that we can put the things together the way I need them and being competitive. I am not finished yet - especially not with the North West and Macau where I would like to add on another win even though the competition isn't getting any easier."

He continued:
"The TT is a bit of different story but I am looking forward to go around the Mountain course with the bikes I will have and the team behind me - I am targeting Top 6 finishes. There is still a lot of work to do at all ends for the team and myself. But I can fully focus on the job now after everything has been sorted."

Spacer Tsingtao Racing /Hampshire MV Agusta has confirmed that eight time TT Race winner Ian Hutchinson will race their factory backed MV Agusta in the Monster Energy Supersport TT Races in 2015.  The Bingley Bullet returned to the TT last year after missing the 2013 meeting through injury.

The team will campaign the iconic Italian marque's F3 675 machine. It has a unique three cylinder engine with a counter rotating crankshaft - a ground breaking solution previously only seen on MotoGP bikes.

MV Agusta is one of most widely revered manufacturers at the TT. MV Agustas have won 34 TT races and taken 61 podiums between 1952 and 1972.The first race win came in the 1952 Ultra-Lightweight race, won by Cecil Sandford, while the last was the 1972 Senior won by Giacomo Agostini.   

While Agostini is the most successful MV Agusta rider at the TT with 10 wins to his name, some of the greatest names in the event's history have also raced on MVs including John Surtees (6 wins), Carlo Ubbiali (5 wins), Mike Hailwood (4 wins) and Tarquinio Provini (3 wins). Other race winners have included Gary Hocking (2 wins) while John Hartle, Bill Lomas, Cecil Sandford and Les Graham have also stood on the top step.

MV Agusta President Giovanni Castiglioni commented:

"MV Agustas are indelibly associated with the Isle of Man TT Races and we are looking forward to adding the next chapter in our long and successful history of racing on the Isle of Man.  Ian Hutchinson is a legend around the Mountain Course and it is fitting that he is following in some of the great names that have raced MV's at the TT."

Dave Tyson, Team Manager, Hampshire MV Agusta Tsingtao Racing commented:

"I'm really pleased with the signing of Hutchy for this year's IOM TT as well as the North-West 200.  It gives us a great opportunity to challenge at the front and as we all know he is a TT winner."

He continued:
"MV Agusta has a winning tradition at the TT and we are going to do everything we can to do that. I know that Giovanni and all the staff at the Italian factory are supporting us and it means we can have a real shot at it."

He concluded:
"The 2015 F3 is better than every and results in WSS have proven the bikes competitive so we now need to make that happen on the 36 ¾ mile circuit. It is the third time we have been at the TT, in 2013 the team was the first to bring a Chinese bike and this year we hope to bring a trophy back to Hampshire MV Agusta."

No sus asusteis si no rula, es que van con hora del imperio.

Parecía que el rookie/newcomer Glenn Irwin podría ponérselo difícil a Alastair Seeley, pero parece que un problema mecánico ha tirado por la borda todo el trabajo que venía haciendo Irwin.
Seeley 1º con un pequeño margen sobre Michael Dunlop y Anstey.

Victoria para Seeley

Red Flag en la carrera de Superstock.

Por suciedad en el asfalto me ha parecido entender.

[joSe.77]

Pues he entendido bastante mal, creo.

Parece ser que el motivo de la bandera roja ha sido los problemas de visibilidad que estaba ocasionando el sol. Al estar anocheciendo, en algunos puntos del circuito el sol daba con demasiada intensidad justo de manera frontal a los pilotos. Comprometiendo su seguridad.
Bandera roja y carrera cancelada.
Creo que la posponen para el sábado con el resto de carreras de la Northwest 200 que quedan por disputar.

por lo que he podido ver en una entrevista .el bueno de Martin dice que el trazado le resulta aburrido....
por otro lado la caida de willian Dunlop a sido por orejas...suerte que no es una zona demasiado rapida
