Bennetts backs Classic TT

 

The new-look Classic TT Races now have a headline sponsor.

The bike insurance specialist Bennetts has signed up to support the event in what is termed a multi-year deal.

The Classic TT takes place over the bank holiday weekend, 23 - 26th August.

Three races will be held on the mountain course, linked to the VMCC bike festival in Jurby, a parade lap and a restaging of the 1967 Senior TT with Giacomo Agostini re enacting his role and John McGuinness astride a Honda ridden in '67 by Mike Hailwood.

The main events have attracted big road racing names including Michael Dunlop, Bruce Anstey, Conor Cummins and Guy Martin along with Cameron Donald and Gary Johnson.

They will be on historic machinery including Matchless, MV Agusta, Moto Guzzi, BSA and Vincent.
