TBNI.Blog promotes and advertises all road racing motorcycling events in the UK, Ireland and Isle of Man for free. Other events such as the Ulster Superbikes are also promoted for free.
The TBNI.Blog Road racing Calendar is also a completely free and secure resource available on the site and is easily imported to your own personal calendar on your phone / tablet /computer.
The Road Racing Calendar is, by far, the most used resource on this site with it being in the top 5 lists on Google of the query ‘Irish Road Racing Calendar 2023‘
Posts promoting road racing events constitute the huge proportion of this site’s content and each post is also promoted on at least the Facebook Page.
That is where the problem lies. Facebook, Meta and Twitter simply do not share our posts in a fair way.
The Facebook Page has in excess of 1k followers and likes yet, for example, the post promoting the first round of the Ulster Superbike Championship was shared with only 40 people! Facebook let 4% of our followers see that post. They then, very kindly, offered me the opportunity to have 1200 people see the post for £14. So, to get the message out to slightly more than those who have chosen to follow the page the Meta company expects £14 – and that won’t even be the entire 1k+ who actually wanted to follow the Page!
TAS Racing have announced via a Facebook Post that they and Hutch have withdrawn from the 2023 TT following Hutchy’s recent health scare.
Hutchy recently posted on his Social Media the he had suffered a stroke.
MILWAUKEE BMW AND HUTCHY WITHDRAW FROM 2023 TT DUE TO HEALTH SCARE
OFFICIAL TAS Racing Team Statement : 29/03/2023 :
TAS Racing and Ian Hutchinson have been forced to make the tough decision to sit out this year’s Isle of Man TT Races with Milwaukee BMW. In light of Ian’s well documented health scare earlier this month, his racing licence has been revoked for 12 months, which is standard protocol with racing’s governing body.
In a Press Release from the MCUI(UC) earlier today the good news has come that a solution has been found in relation to obtaining insurance for the NI Sidecar events, which can, thankfully, now go ahead.
With the news that motorcycle racing events in Northern Ireland were saved last week with a new insurance quote and a sizeable and generous donation from a local business it has now come to light that Northern Irish Sidecar Racing was not included in that package.
This was brought into the public domain through Social Media. A statement posted on Facebook just after 9pm on 16th March 2023 from the Irish Sidecar Club cited their side of the story.
With the news that insurance has been secured for Northern Irish motorcycle sporting events information is coming thick and fast from all the clubs with the plans for their events , the necessity to support the sport, and the lack of time there is to get things in place to meet the events planned dates.
