Senior TT winner Dean Harrison remains with Silicone Engineering Racing, respected rival, world’s fastest road racer Peter Hickman sticks with Smiths Racing who for 2020 will take on the mantle of BMW Motorrad UK’s official roads team.

Honda’s 2020 roads charge led by Honda UK, is headed by the exciting new rider line up of IRRC Superbike Champion Davey Todd and TT debutant Glenn Irwin.
