There will be 5 italian riders at this year's TT races. They are: Giorgio Cantalupo, Umberto Rumiano, Giuseppe Baracchetti, and the newcomers Stefano Manici and Stefano Bonetti.

I think that the only year that more than 5 italian riders had raced the TT races was in the 1926 (Achille Varzi, Erminio Visioli, Pietro Ghersi, Luigi Arcangeli, Mario Ghersi, Miro Maffeis)!!
