The Classic TT makes a return in 2025 and first to fire into life is the three-lap Historic Junior Classic TT, which will be led by John McGuinness MBE.
The ever-popular Honda CB350 K4 dominates the entry, with all but two of the seeded riders Honda mounted.
McGuinness will be followed down Glencrutchery Road by 2023 Senior Manx Grand Prix winner Joe Yeardsley, riding the Ken Rutter Racing Honda, and then, ten seconds later, it’s the turn of Dean Harrison.
Classic TT
Harrison, winner of the 2015 Senior Classic TT, will be a key contender aboard the Craven Classic Racing/Ted Woof machine.
He’s joined by team-mate Jamie Coward at number four – himself a former race winner in 2019, with second and third place finishes also to his name.
The number five plate belongs to Michael Evans on the second Ken Rutter Racing machine.
With a gap at number six, Adam McLean heads away next at number seven, riding the Flitwick Motorcycles by Melbray London Honda.
Strong Line-up
At number eight will be another pre-race favourite – Davey Todd. The three-time TT winner remains relatively new to classic racing machines but as team-mate to McGuinness, he’s sure to feature prominently on the second Steadplan Racing machine.
At number nine, it’s Dan Sayle aboard the John Chapman Racing Honda, followed by Paul Jordan at number ten on a Davies Motorsport-prepared Honda – one of the paddock’s most respected Classic specialists.
