16-time TT winner to take part in event later this month
Ian Hutchinson will make his return to the Manx Grand Prix later this month.
It comes 21 years after he made his debut, and one and only appearance, at the event.
The 16-time TT winner will ride a Steadplan ZX-750 Kawasaki in the four-lap Classic Superbike race on 26 August.
When the now 44-year-old took to the Mountain Course in 2003 he became the fastest ever newcomer around the course – taking a narrow victory in the Senior Newcomers MGP event.
Since then Hutchy has established himself as one of the TT greats with 16 wins and 27 podiums.
He returned to competitive action earlier this year, taking four top-15 finishes, after missing the 2023 season.
