Honda has been announced as the new motorcycle partner for the 2016 Isle of Man TT races. As per the new deal, the Japanese two-wheeler maker will supply a fleet of CBR1000RR Fireblades for the TT traveling marshals throughout qualifying and race events
All of the bikes carry medical equipment that can assist in managing a casualty. They also carry out duties such as course inspection, observe machines on the course for visible faults and review and report any course incidents.
The Traveling Marshals have previous race experience of the Mountain Course, having competed in either the TT or the Manx Grand Prix. The current team has eight Manx Grand Prix wins and a TT podium between them and all of them are first aid trained to a high level and play a vital role in the Isle of Man TT races safety program, which relies on fast responses.
