By A plethora of first-rate European roads scene talents will venture back to Northern Ireland, for May’s Briggs Equipment Northwest 200.
Three times a top six finisher in 2024, ‘King of Imatranajo’ Erno Kostamo is certain to be one to watch, astride the RVS Motorsport M1000RR BMW.
2022 Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix winner, Kostamo has ten-fold helped raise the profile of pure road racing in Finland.
You can apply the same notion towards 2012, 2013 IRRC Supersport Champion, Belgium’s Laurent Hoffmann (Hoffmann by MRP), whose latest upcoming NW200 campaign, sees him like Kostamo M1000RR BMW equipped.
As applicable to the TT Races, France has strength in depth, representation at the NW200.
The Optimark Road Racing pair of Jonathan Goetschy and Eddy Ferre, piloting a variety of BMW, Honda, Ducati (VS Panigale), Aprilia (RS 660) metal should contend for impressive results.
Expect the same possibilities for the present fastest, French TT exponent Amalric Blanc.
Blanc is set to race under the Team Gazzz 58 umbrella, piloting Fireblade Honda machinery.
