Hutchie returns to the TT

Sixteen-time TT winner Ian Hutchinson is set to compete on the Isle of Man this June, riding for the Padgett’s Milenco Honda team. The Yorkshire rider had to pull out last year after suffering a stroke, but has made a full recovery, and is ready to ride a CBR1000RR Fireblade in the Superbike, Senior and Superstock races, and a CBR600RR in the Supersport races. “I’m really pleased to be back with Clive and the team,” he said. “With injuries, then Covid, and missing last year, I don’t feel as though I’ve had a good run at the TT since 2017 and so it’s ideal to be with a team that can let me get the laps in, which is what I need.”
