What a week of sheer grit, high speed, and pure Mountain Course drama. We are leaving the Isle of Man with immense pride, a raft of fantastic results, and standard island race-day stories of incredible highs mixed with frustrating mechanical heartbreak.
​Here is how our Manx GP and Classic TT campaign played out on the tarmac:
• ​Sportbike Manx GP: 10th Place — A cracking result in a incredibly competitive field. The bike ran like a dream, the pace was sharp from the grid, and securing a top-10 finish on the Mountain Course is something the whole team is buzzing about.
• ​Junior Manx GP: 8th Place — Doubling down on top-10 glory! Another relentless performance secured 8th spot, capping off a stellar week for our modern-class efforts.
• ​Junior 600 Classic TT:11th Place — Just agonizingly close to the top 10 in a tough, noisy field of classic iron. The 600 sang all the way around, bringing the bike home safely with a brilliant finish.
• ​Ultralightweight Classic: DNF — Racing on the island is never easy on the machinery. Gremlins caught up with the 400 mid-race, forcing an early retirement despite a fantastic effort from the crew in the paddock.
• ​Senior Classic TT: Qualified / DNF — Reaching qualification for the Senior Classic TT was a massive tick off the bucket list, and the bike felt great out on the lap. Sadly, mechanical ill-fortune struck again during the race, cutting our run short before the chequered flag.
​To take away three strong finishes—highlighted by two top-10s—against world-class road racing talent is a testament to the endless hours put in by the rider, mechanics, and supporters.
​Huge thanks to our sponsors, pit crew, organizers, and marshals who make this madness possible. We’ll lick our wounds on the DNFs, celebrate the silver replicas and top-10s, and start prepping for the next one!

🏁 RACE REPORT: C**k o' the North – Oliver's Mount
​What a weekend at Scarborough! Oliver's Mount always delivers top-tier road racing, and this year’s C**k o' the North was no exception. Fast, tight, and unforgiving, the natural road circuit put rider and machinery to the ultimate test—and we are coming home with silverware!
​🥇 Lightweight 400 Class — 1st Place
​The 400 was on rails all weekend. After putting in solid laps during qualifying to dial in the gearing and setup for the Mount's relentless twists and climbs, it all came together in the race.
​ The bike felt fantastic underneath us, allowing us to build a comfortable gap and cross the line to take 1st Place! A massive testament to the team's hard work in the paddock.
​🥈 Supertwin Class — 2nd Place
​The Supertwin race was an absolute battle from lights to flag. With a stacked grid of sharp machinery and skilled road racers, the pace was high right from the warm-up lap.
​We got stuck straight into the lead group, pushing hard up the hill and backing it in through the hairpin. After a high-intensity battle, swapping positions and pushing the limits on every sector, we crossed the line in a hard-fought 2nd Place. To stand on the podium in such a competitive class is a brilliant result for the team.

​A massive THANK YOU to:
The Team: For everything you do to make sure we get the bikes out there on time and in perfect condition!
Our Sponsors: Your support makes getting on these grids possible.
The Marshals & Officials: For keeping us safe all weekend around the Mount.
The Fans: The atmosphere along the hedgerows was mega as always!
​Onwards and upwards to the next one! ✊🏁

🏁 RACE REPORT: Southern 100 🏁
​What a fantastic couple of days of racing at the Billown Circuit! We are absolutely thrilled with how the bikes and the team have performed!
​Here is how our races stacked up:
• ​Race 1 (Yesterday): Started from P9 on the grid, but after a hard-fought battle, we managed to climb 2 places to finish in a brilliant 7th!
• ​Race 2 (Today): Back on the grid and backed it up with another fantastic 7th place finish! Even better, we found some serious extra pace and went 2 seconds faster than yesterday’s race.
​This wouldn't be possible without the incredible team working tirelessly in the paddock, our phenomenal sponsors who keep us on the track, and every single one of our supporters cheering us on from the hedges and at home. Your belief in us means everything!
​Time to celebrate this one and get ready for the next grid. ⏱️🚀
