Riders issue pleas for MGP and Classic TT rides

Rhys Stephenson & Harley Rushton seeking support ahead of events

Two road racers are issuing separate appeals to secure rides for this month's Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT.

A newcomer at TT 2026, Rhys Stephenson is on the hunt for bikes to utilise across the Junior 600 and Ultra-Lightweight Classic TT events.

Elsewhere, Harley Rushton - A winner on his MGP debut two years ago - is keen to find a machine he can compete on in the Sportbike MGP category.

Keen to keep building his Snaefell Mountain Course experience, Stephenson says it would mean 'everything' if anyone was able to offer a helping hand:

Meanwhile, for Rushton, whilst he has plans secured in other categories, a previously planned agreement for the Sportbike MGP class didn't materialise.

Twelve months ago, he managed a sixth-place finish in the Supertwin MGP race and says he'd like to build on the positives from 2025:

Anyone who may be able to help Stephenson is invited to get in touch via Rhys Stephenson Racing on Instagram or over email  to rhys.stephenson.06@gmail.com.

Those who could assist Rushton are asked to contact the rider via the Harley Rushton Racing Facebook page or email hr70@hotmail.co.uk.
