By 2021 IRRC Supersport Champion Pierre Yves Bian, TT 2023 challenge will feature participation aboard 765 Triumph machinery, after striking a deal with 9 times TT winner Peter Hickman, PHR Performance outfit.
Newcomers A Manx GP winner in 2019, highly rated French pilot Yves Bian stock has risen and risen through the roads paddock ranks, in recent times.
Near the sharp end of the Superbike field at Imatranajo, Yves Bian’s first TT tilt saw him lap over 119 mph, finish agonisingly close to a Super Twins race podium finish, finishing just under seven seconds behind third place finisher, PreZ Racing’s Paul Jordan.
Supersport wise, fortunes were mixed with just one finish gained, a solid run to 24th in the opening three lap encounter.
Now 765 Triumph powered, the ever smiling Frenchman is determined to make the most of an enterprising new opportunity.
Alongside the TT, he has also confirmed that he will be racing the Trooper/PHR Performance Triumph at the North West 200 and selected British Championship events.
