We were approached by a team last winter and I'm pleased to announce that for the 2017 season The Welbeck Hotel & Restaurant will helping to support Davy Morgan.
The good news is that he is very easy to spot as he wears a shocking pink helmet.
Davy is an experienced campaigner, having begun racing in 1994 and he won several Irish Clubmans' Championships.
Sensibly, he served a 10 year apprenticeship on the roads before taking on the TT course and was the winner of the Senior Manx Grand Prix, breaking the Lap Record in 120.68mph (2004.)
Davy must have a pretty big mantlepiece as he has a major collection of TT Bronze Replicas and is a regular podium man in both UK and Irish road races.
2016 was another successful year, with wins in the non-finalist Scarborough Gold Cup, another victory at Skerries and numerous escond and third placings, culminating with having been invited to the Macau Grand Prix last November.
Davy came a highly respectable 6th place at last weekend's Tandragee 100 on the ZX10 Angry Bee Kawasaki but unfortunately he pulled in because of the conditions in the second race, a decision vindicated by the cancellation of the rest of the meeting due to the weather.
Funds providing, (and if there are any more willing sponsors out there, the team would be grateful for any extra support*) he will have a very busy year, riding on our shores for the TT, the Sothern 100 and the Classic TT.
We expect that we will see him some evenings at the Welbeck and he even gives his name to the Davy Morgan Welbeck Grill which consists of pork chop, chicken fillet ,pork sausage,small sirloin, gammon egg chips and choice of sauce as an extra.
* If you too wish to contribute to Davy's campaign, you can join his supporters club by sending a message to Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/davymorgan71/ to be sent a form or by contacting Jane Brookes manxie03@hotmail.co.uk
