Ian Hutchinson is returning to the TAS Racing team fold for this year’s TT on a Motorrad BMW sponsored by Milwaukee Tools UK.

Forty years after winning the Senior 500cc TT as privateers with Norman Brown, Hector Neill and his TAS Racing team (now managed by his son Philip), will continue their lengthy and successful tenure on Mona’s Isle this June.

Hutchinson previously enjoyed success at the TT with the 18-time winners. Having also campaigned the vibrant red Milwaukee livery during his career on a Yamaha, the Bingley ace is delighted to see all three come together for the June showpiece.

‘Coming back to the team, where I’ve enjoyed my most recent success at the TT, was something I hoped would be possible throughout this winter,’ said Hutchy.

‘To hear the title sponsor is to be Milwaukee, really was the icing on the cake.

‘Both TAS and Milwaukee have given me great success in the past, so I look forward to us all working together again in 2022.’

‘Road racing and the TT is simply in our DNA at TAS Racing,’ said Philip Neill.

‘After two years away, we are now looking forward to racing in the island this June. The organising team has made some significant changes during that time away and this year’s TT has the potential to be the biggest ever.

‘To partner with Milwaukee is somewhat of a dream scenario for us all, as we have developed a close relationship with them in recent years.

‘Our partnership with Ian goes back to 2016 when we enjoyed significant success together, both on the roads and on BSB tracks. So, in this very significant year for TAS Racing, we are delighted to once again team up with Ian for our latest assault on the international road racing events.’
