“It’s awesome that TH Racing has given me this opportunity to come over to NI and race at one of my favourite road races.
I love Northern Ireland and the atmosphere at the event is great. I am still fully focused on the Seventy-Four Racing at other events this year, and I would like to thank my dad and our sponsors for helping to make this possible.
A huge thanks to Trev and all the boys & girls at TH Racing and I can’t wait to have some fun on their great Honda Supersport machine.”

“We are equally delighted to have Joey with us at Armoy. Joey is a very talented rider and we believe that with the machine and the Metzeler tyres link, he will have the confidence back to be competitive.
We are looking forward to a fun weekend, with no pressure on him. We all want to go racing, have fun, enjoy the meeting and finish races. Anything else will be a bonus.”
