Ian Hutchinson only begun
racing in 2001 but he has already risen to the top
of the sport and his road race performances in 2006
made him one of the stars of the year. As soon as
he won the Senior Manx Grand Prix Newcomers race
in 2003, he was earmarked as one of the riders to
watch and he’s now talked about as one of
riders who can dominate the sport in the future.
Hutchy took his first International
win in the second Supersport race at the 2006
North West 200 and went on to rack up podiums
at both the TT and the UGP. The 26-year old also
got his name in the record books at Dundrod when
he set a new lap record of 130.829mph, making
him the fastest pure road racer in the world.
Hailing from Bingley in Yorkshire, Ian was a
good friend of the late, great David Jefferies
who inspired him to make his real road-racing
debut and he has also learnt a lot from John McGuinness.
Hutchy also has a thriving short circuit career
and he will spearhead HM Plant Honda’s British
Supersport campaign in 2007, also being their
number one rider for the three International road
race meetings. Ian joins the RRR.Com team for
the first time in 2007 and his columns will provide
excellent insight into life as a factory rider.
