By 2019 Steve Henshaw Gold Cup runner-up Mike Norbury, has made the decision to take a year out of closed roads competition, instead opting to focus on other fun activities including motocross and enduro riding.
An ex protégé of Pikes Peak winner Rob Barber, Norbury is a steadfast member of England’s next generation pure road racers club.
A top five finisher within the 2017 Newcomers A Manx Grand Prix, he’s since gone onto record multiple creditable finishes at the TT Races.
Last June’s TT action saw him bank four top forty finishes which included placing 24th from the re-scheduled Milwaukee Senior race.
Prior to Mountain Course affiliated action, Norbury at the time racing for DC Racing, had quietly impressed during the fonaCAB/Nicholl Oils North West 200, picking up top 15 finishes in the Supersport races.
Looking to the future, he is hoping to be back road racing in 2024, as he aims to grow an already accomplished between the hedges racing CV, one that features quite the array of tumultuous achievements at North Yorkshire’s ‘Mini TT’ Oliver’s Mount.
