Honda confirms Guy signing for TT

Honda has confirmed rumours it’s signed Guy Martin for this year’s TT.

The Lincolnshire rider will line up against TT legend John McGuinness in the Superbike events after a year away from racing.

They’ll be riding the brand new Fireblade SP2 – a bike described by Guy as ‘a weapon’.

In a statement released today he said he had to do ‘a lot of thinking’ before committing adding he ‘didn’t want to grow old regretting not giving the Honda a go’.

Team manager Neil Tuxworth says the whole team is ‘excited to get on track’ and put the new machine through its paces.
