British Isle of Man TT stars will be heading out to the Japanese Miyakejima Island, off Tokyo, next month to consult on a planned road race.

Richard Quayle, John McGuinness and Ian Lougher will make the trip to the island that wants to host its own version of the Isle of Man TT to boost the local economy after major volcanic eruptions in 1983 and 2000.

The trio will be taking part in a controlled parade lap of the 30 kilometre course, as well as meeting local government representatives, motorsport officials and fans.
