German-based squad Penz13.com has signed leading Northern Irishman Shaun Anderson for this year’s TT.
The 42-year-old from Banbridge will campaign the latest specification BMW M1000RR machine in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT events.
Team owner Rico Penzkofer, a former competitor who raced between 2009 and 2012 with a best finish of 12th in the 2010 Senior TT, has built Penz13.com into a respected international outfit.
The team has previously fielded riders including Michael Rutter, Gary Johnson and Davey Todd.
Experience
Anderson brings significant experience with 54 TT starts and a place in the 130mph Club. His standout result came in the 2024 Milwaukee Senior TT with eighth place and a personal best lap of 130.703mph.
Team Owner Rico Penzkofer said: “We are very pleased to welcome Shaun to the team for the 2026 TT.
“He is a very experienced rider on the Mountain Course and has shown strong, consistent performances in recent years. We believe the BMW will suit him well across the Superbike, Superstock and Senior races.”
Anderson added: “I would like to thank Rico for the opportunity. 2026 will be a big year for me, the start of a new project with a new team and manufacturer. I’m sure the BMW will be a step forward.”
“Rico has been to the TT as both a competitor and a team owner, so he understands the demands, and when you look at the riders he has worked with over the years shows the pedigree. I’m excited for the year ahead.”
