Padgett's Honda will mount a three-pronged attack on this year's Isle of Man TT Races, fielding John McGuinness, Bruce Anstey and Gary Johnson in one team to cover all of the main classes in the week-long festival.

Kiwi Anstey will race in Senior, Superbike, Supersport and Superstock classes and will be joined in the Supersrock and 600cc class by McGuinness while Johnson will compete in the Superbike and Senior races for the Batley-based squad. The Lincolnshire man took his first TT win in the second Supersport race last year.

We've got a great team again this year and I know that all the lads enjoy racing for our team. Everyone gets on really well and feels part of the family when they climb onto our bikes. I'm delighted to welcome Gary on board and I'm sure we can help him, and John and Bruce, to add to their wins on the mountain course. Roll on June," said boss Clive Padgett.
