Team Tony, Team Manager, Debbie Wright commented on how grateful Anthony is to Green Ant Racing, for helping him move up a level, in particular around the Mountain Course.
She stated:
“Tony is so grateful to Green Ant Racing for helping him go racing over the last three years and accomplish his racing goals, they have sold us their BMW S1000RR to use in 2017 and we feel very happy already knowing the bike and settings.”

“We are really excited for 2017, we have a great BMW s1000rr that we know and my uncle Alan is providing his ER650 super twin, once again, that we are currently making improvements too and are hoping to beat this year’s 19th place TT lightweight finish.”
