Peoplesbike.com returns for seventh year of racing at the TT
Popular fan-backed TT team thepeoplesbike will be returning for its seventh TT campaign with Alan Bonner again representing them at the 2015 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy.
Bonner is one of a long list of notable riders to represent thepeoplesbike since their inception in 2009. This unique team is partly funded by race fans, who have their picture on the bikes fairings, as well as an open invitation to the team's awnings during the TT to enjoy a brew with the team in return for their support.
Alan will be competing in the two Monster Energy Supersport Races, the RST Superbike, RL360 Superstock and PokerStars Senior TT. He will be riding a Honda Fireblade in the three 1000cc classes and a Yamaha 600 in the two Supersport Races. The team enjoyed great success at last year’s races with Bonner finishing a creditable 38th, and highest placed newcomer, in the second Supersport Race, as well as clocking the fastest lap by a newcomer in the 600 class in the process.
Commenting on the news, Alan Bonner said:
"I really enjoyed my first year with the team and it’s great to be going back to the TT again with them as the continuity will really help me. There’s a great team atmosphere and having fans backing us as well adds to that."
Team manager Mark Cubbon commented:
"We are really pleased to have confirmed Alan again for this year. He showed what he was capable of in his first year and we’ll be looking to help him build on that in 2015. We seem to have really caught the imagination of road racing fans and without their backing we wouldn’t be able to race. We genuinely want them to feel part of the team and this is a great way for them to be closely involved with the sport."
The team will post their official T-shirt, cap and signed photo to team sponsors anywhere in the world. During qualifying and race week the team will be tweeting live from the paddock and grid. Photographs will be posted daily on the team's facebook page and website so fans can follow their progress.
