By Isle of Wight roads scene ace Ryan Whitehall, 2025 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 expedition, takes on extra precedence, having gained Honda Supersport, Paton Super Twin rides with Ian Lougher’s Team ILR with Frog Vehicle Developments outfit.
Whitehall, a top twenty finisher x2 from May’s Briggs Equipment Northwest 200, Cookstown Grand Final podium finisher last year, stated his excitement about the Team ILR opportunity:
“I am super excited to ride for Ian Lougher Racing at Tandragee. Riding for ILR has been a bit of a dream of mine since I started Road racing so I cannot thank Ian and the team enough for the opportunity.”
Set for a third Manx Grand Prix odyssey in August, Whitehall added:
“I am hoping for a safe weekend on both their Paton and Honda as well as my own R1 (Yamaha) in the open classes.
Also, a massive thanks to my personal sponsor Lee Pinder from Reel Networks for making the whole thing come together.”
