One racer fast-forwarding positive real road racing coverage in France, is Essertines-En-Donzy’s Amalric Blanc.
Looking to build upon impressive Briggs Equipment Northwest 200, TT campaigns in 2024, his 2025 machinery array, is Honda focused.
Firstly, there’s the same CBR 1000RR-R he rode last year, which will feature across NW200 (confirmed start number 25), TT Superstock, Superbike contests.
Secondly, solely for the TT, Blanc has latest generation CBR 600RR metal for Monster Energy Supersport races.
Unofficially the swiftest Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix debutant of 2024, he’s since June of last year, uniquely held the title of being France’s fastest TT (PB lap speed 127.078) and Northwest 200 exponent (PB lap speed 118.143).
