Classic TT Takes Centre Stage at MCN London Motorcycle Show - Malcolm - 12-02-2015 The Classic TT Races presented by Bennetts is set to take centre stage at the three day MCN London Motorcycle Show which starts this Friday 13th February at the Excel Centre. Although the Classic TT is only two years old, it has already become one of the world’s leading Classic race meetings with oversubscribed grids, iconic and priceless machinery and many of the leading road racers going head to head in thrilling battles around the Mountain Course. A number of the TT’s leading stars have already appeared in the August event, and will be appearing at the MCN show. The riders will be taking part in chat shows on the main event stage as well meeting fans and signing autographs throughout the three day show. John McGuinness, who has yet to break his Classic TT duck despite posting fast times in qualifying on Roger Winfield’s Paton, will be at the show for all three days, while up and coming stars Dean Harrison and 2014 Okells 350cc Race winner Lee Johnston will be announcing their 2015 plans on Friday 13th February. TT outright lap record holder Bruce Anstey, who set his fastest lap mark in the 2014 Superbike Race, will be firing up the Valvoline by Padgetts Racing Yamaha YZR500 that he won last year’s Motorsport Merchandise F1 Race, becoming the fastest ever two stroke rider in the process. The popular New Zealand rider is due to be appearing on Friday 13th. A number of other riders will be revealing their 2015 Classic TT plans at the show including double 2014 Classic TT Race winner Ian Lougher while the National Motorcycle Museum will also be announcing an exciting development in the Rotary Norton themed meeting. A high profile TT competitor will also be announcing his debut in the historic races. Official TT and Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling travel and accommodation agency Regency Travel will be on hand on the Classic TT Stand to provide detail of packages to attend this year’s event, which runs from Saturday 22nd August to Friday 4th September including Classic TT Race days on Saturday 29th and Monday 31st August. |
