With the dust barely settled after the amazing 2015 TT, the Isle of Man is getting ready for the roar of racing motorbikes once more. The 2015 Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix kick off this week, and Avon Tyres will be there providing tyres for most of the competitors in the 500 and 350 Classic TT races.
Avon Motorsport’s Steve Smith said: “Just about all competitors in the 350 and 500 races will be using Avon Motorsport tyres, either the AM26 or AM22, or a combination of the two.”
Some of the biggest names in road racing will be riding on Avons, including John McGuinness, Michael Dunlop, Gary Johnson, Keith Amor and Michael Rutter. Pete Boast will be riding his MCN Sport-sponsored Honda 500, and Maria Costello is also competing on a Paton 500 machine.
Avon is looking for success in the Manx Grand Prix races too. Rider Rob Hodson will ride the CMS Kawasaki Supertwin machine which Dan Cooper rode to sixth place in this year’s Lightweight TT.
