Thought for sure Guy was retired for good, but the chance to ride the new Fireblade was good to pass up.Welcome back, Guy.
Guy Martin has sensationally signed for Honda Racing alongside John McGuinness for this year’s Isle of Man TT. The Grimsby man hasn’t raced the roads since a huge crash during the Dundrod 150 Superbike event at the Ulster Grand Prix in 2015.
He suffered multiple broken vertebrae in the crash and a broken sternum, with the frightening incident raising doubts over whether or not Martin would ever return to the infamous Mountain Course at the TT in the future, or any other race for that matter. However, the 35-year-old truck mechanic and TV star has made a shock move to the official Honda team for 2017 after missing the TT last year, when he took on the challenge of the gruelling 2,712-mile Tour Divide mountain bike race.
