The up-and-coming road racing superstar, Guy Martin, has signed to stay with the TAS Suzuki team of Northern Ireland for the following 2012 road racing season. The go is obvious: conquering the Masada of road racing, the Isle of Man TT. Being the only road race of the three major races he couldn’t manage to win, the North West 200 and the Ulster GP trophies are already resting on his trophy shelves, Guy hopes to put things right this year. In spite of his thirteen podium finishes during his TT career, four of which he pocketed last year, Martin just couldn’t go past the TT legend John McGuinness on his way to victory. He finished the Senior class race on second, behind McGuinness.
The love between Martin and the GSXRs seems to be of a lasting sort, because, as Guy said: “It’s taken a while, but it was always on the cards. I’m happy to be back with the team for a second year and I love the new Tyco Suzuki colors. Great job.”
John McGuinness has a total of seventeen Man TT victories, four more than Martin’s overall road racing podium count. During the last year’s event Guy came closest so far to winning it, but McGuinness thought he should wait for a bit more. After everything Guy has been through on the Man TT course, this year he just might win because: “…it’s time to go out and bloody win one.”
