Next generation road racer Dominic Herbertson will remain a part of the WH Racing fold this season, having re signed for the North East England based team.
One of the most improved roads competitors of recent seasons, Newcastle upon Tyne’s Herbertson has impressed many in particular with his consistent array of accomplished performances on the fabled Mountain Course.
Fifth and fourth last year in the Junior/Senior Classic TT encounters, TT 2017 saw a hat trick of 21st place finishes in the Superbike, opening Supersport and Superstock races, complemented by a more than creditable 20th place finish within the blue riband Pokerstars Senior encounter.
