Multiple New Zealand Superbike Chaಞmpion Mitch Rees has signed for the Milen💃co by Padgett’s team for the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

🏅Rees will ride for the Padgett’s team🀅 in both the Superbike and Superstock classes on a Honda CBR1000RR-R, contesting both the TT and the North West 200 in what will be his debut year at both events.

“I’ve always enjoyed riding on the roads back home and so the TT has always been on my radar,” said Rees, whose win tally at Wanganui’s famous Cemetery Circuit 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:road race is into double figures.

“It’s obviously difficult to do ♔being from the other side of the world and we relied on Bruce [Anstey]𝓰 to fly the flag for us for many years.

“But having met the likes of Davey [Todd] and Hicky [Peter Hickman] when they’ve coꦆme over to race in the NZ Suzuki Series, I started to discuss the TT with them more.

“I made it over to the [Isle of Man] for nine days last year and loved everything about it. I did a couple of laps wit♑h Davey and going over the Mountain for the first ti🌼me was pretty mind blowing, especially considering the speeds that they do.”

“Since then, I’ve been doing my homework, doing laps on the Playstation game and Milky Quayle’s on-board DVD to geܫt used to the course as much as possible.

“I’ll be heading to the UK in April, so will head strai♑ght over to the Isle of Man to get in plenty of laps with Rider Liaison Officers Milky, and Johnny Barton༒.

“The main goal for 2025 is to be safe, learn the course and enjoy it. And with the Padgetts boys, I couldn’t ask to be with a better team. Clive and his crew are so well known, and so successful. and if you’re going to do something, it♓’s best to do the job properly.”
