Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Three-time North West 200 race winner, Ian Hutchinson will be re-united with the Milenco Padgett’s Honda squad for a full-scale onslaught on the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport races at the 2024 Briggs Equipment North West 200 in May.


Briggs Equipment Ireland | Padgetts Motorcycles


The move marks another inspiring comeback for the 44 year old during a career that has seemed to be an almost relentless battle against injury and illness since he last raced full-time with the Yorkshire-based team during 2010.

Hutchinson’s stunning ten race winning run with the Padgett’s team at that season’s NW200, Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix and Scarborough Gold Cup ended when he sustained a serious leg injury at Silverstone in September 2010.

After enduring more than 40 operations, the β€˜Bingley Bullet’ eventually fought his way back into contention to claim victory in the 2013 Macau Grand Prix plus, a third win at the NW200 in 2016 and eight more TT triumphs before he crashed and broke his leg again during the 2017 Senior TT.

Battling back to fitness again, Hutchy returned to road racing with Honda in 2018, riding a Padgetts prepared CBR600RR to 7th and 16th place finishes in the Supersport class at the NW200.

2024 Tandragee 100 Cancelled

2024 Tandragee 100 Cancelled :

The North Armagh Club have confirmed today via a press release that the 2024 Tandragee 100 has been cancelled.


19/12/2023 Press Release :

On behalf of the North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club (Tarmac Section) Ltd it is with deep regret that I confirm that the 2024 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 has been cancelled.

We have been unable to gain commitment for necessary resurfacing to be carried out in time to meet extended deadlines: (a) to confirm our intent to commit with MCUI UC (and relevant other Clubs) to a sizeable non-refundable insurance premium quotation; and (b) to confirm with 2&4W Motorsport Ltd definite use of a Road Closing Order (which will provide enough time to allow another motorsport club to make application for use of same in 2024).  We wish every success for all other motorsport clubs in 2024.

As a Club, after many months of lobbying and negotiations, we are very disappointed, however we are committed to do everything we can to ensure some level of resurfacing takes place at some stage in 2024 to enable us to bring this awe inspiring event back in 2025.  We wish to take this opportunity to thank all our competitors, sponsors, landowners, volunteers and spectators for their continued support.

The 2023 Sunflower Trophy was held at Bishopscourt Race Circuit on 21st and 22nd October 2023 and marks the end of the Ulster Superbike Championship.

With horrendous weather stopping activities on Friday 20th October 2023 (main qualifying day) the organisers made the difficult (but absolutely correct decision) to amend the schedule, cancelling the Friday sessions and moving them to the Saturday. The Saturday’s schedule was then shifted to Sunday.

The result was two excellent (maybe a little chilly, but we can’t complain about that) days that enabled the full schedule to run and 2 brilliant days of track racing action to wind up the 2023 Season.

Davey Todd will rejoin Burrows Engineering / RK Racing for a one off appearance at the Macau Grand Prix in November.

Davey, who previously rode for the team during the 2018 season, will ride the team’s BMW M1000RR Superbike at the famous street race in the far east next month. We would like to thank Phillip Neill and Tas Racing for entrusting us with bringing Davey to compete at Macau, and also their support for the event. We very much look forward to having Davey back in the team, albeit for one race.

JOHN BURROWS –

β€œI am delighted to have Davey back riding one of our bikes again. After a great season together in 2018, we remained friends and always said if an opportunity arises to work together again we wouldn’t say no, so when Davey called me a couple of weeks ago to ask about the possibility of running him at Macau it did not take long for me to make my decision. Davey has shown in the past two BSB rounds that he works well with the BMW, and given his great form around Macau in the past, that is something that excites me looking ahead to next month.”

DAVEY TODD –

β€œI’m really excited to be rejoining with Burrows Engineering/RK Racing for the Macau GP. The team who I did my first TT with in 2018! We’ve talked about working together again every year since then I think, and it’s cool that we now get to do it with the support of my TAS Racing team on familiar BMW M1000RR machinery. It’s a perfect combination so I can’t wait to get out to Macau and get going!”
