Having lapped during the four lap race, at close to in excess of 118 mph, Davey feels the time is right to move into TT competition.
Well aware of the sheer world class quality embarking upon TT 2017, one of the main aims for “Lambo” at TT 2017 will be to lap in excess of 120 mph, having come close to achieving this notable feat at the Manx.
Like many of his Manx GP contemporaries, he has Mountain Course experience plus proven pace, to wrap up series of top class results on his TT debut.
