By In terms of victories, statistically the most successful International roads team of the 2010’s thanks to tumultuous moments with elite names such as Alastair Seeley, Ian Hutchinson, Guy Martin and the much missed William Dunlop is TAS Racing.
Hector Neill/Philip Neill’s team throughout the past ten years has acquired no less than 28 victories combined from competition at the North West 200, TT Races, Ulster Grand Prix, Macau Grand Prix and Steve Henshaw International Gold Cup at Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough.
