Given his proven pace, race craft at the TT, Manx GP and Southern 100, it wouldn’t at all be surprising to see the determined, affable Akroyd make a striking ‘Mini TT’ debut at the two day Barry Sheene Classic meeting.

Reminder the meet which marks the beginning of a new era for Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough, takes place in just under ten days time from the 27th-28th of July.
