There’s nothing wrong with boasting when you’ve got something really impressive to boast about — and Danish motorcycle brake pad brand SBS believes that it has. SBS sales manager Johan Rauff Kristensen cheerfully points out that users of his company’s Racing Dual Sinter pads not only got onto every podium in this year’s Isle of Man TT (apart from the electric-powered TTZero race) but also took five wins, a feat which he is confident has never been achieved by any competing manufacturer.
Top SBS performers were Michael Dunlop (victories in the Superbike, Superstock and both Supersport races) and James Hillier (victory in the Lightweight). SBS-equipped Bruce Anstey also scored three podiums (second spot in both Supersport races and third in the Senior). John McGuinness took two podiums for SBS (third in both Supersport 2 and Superstock) and Michael Dunlop added another with second place in the Senior.
