By We are extremely proud to announce our sponsorship of the 2026 SportBike Manx Grand Prix Race; it marks a highpoint in our journey and our dedication to Road Racing.
It is an honour to be directly involved with the Manx Grand Prix. The event is a major cornerstone in racers careers, and to be a part of the Manx Grand Prix future progression, is fantastic for RRN.
Road Racing News are looking forward to working closely with the MGP with enhanced coverage and engagement in sponsoring the Sport Bike Manx Grand Prix this year.
For 2026, Road Racing News will lend its name to the SportBike Manx Grand Prix race. Previously known as the SuperTwin class in 2025, the category has undergone regulatory and eligibility updates, with the new SportBike title bringing it in line with the class structure used at the Isle of Man TT Races.
The evolution of the class reflects the continued development of the MGP. Our involvement hopefully adds further prestige and profile to this exciting and competitive category.
With a commitment to covering every rider in the paddock and providing a platform for competitors at all levels, we embody the inclusive and community-driven spirit that defines the Manx Grand Prix.
