Ian Hutchinson will spearhead the challenge for new Northern Ireland team Boyce Precision Engineering by Russell Racing at next year’s North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.

The 16-time TT winner will ride a Yamaha YZF-R6 in the Supersport class for the Co Armagh-based team, which will be led by Glenavy man Alister Russell, who was previously the crew chief for a series of top riders including Keith Amor, Cameron Donald, Guy Martin and the late William Dunlop.

Both the North West and TT were cancelled for a second consecutive year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Hutchinson is now counting down the days until he makes his roads debut for the newly-established team on the north coast.
