Commenting yesterday, via his Facebook page, Colin stated how at present, his TT 2017 plans are looking, he said:
“Well, I’ve just put my TT entry in folks. But currently I’ve no bike, team, sponsors or backing. So if there is anyone out there with a ride available please let me know.
I’m confident I can run well inside the top 15 or maybe further with the right amount of help. Last year ended badly for me as I just couldn’t handle doing it single handed.
It broke me, just need a bit of help and I can give the results. Thanks in advance y’all. Hopefully something will come up.”
