THREE top TT stars have signed up to race for the Padgetts MMCG Racing team at this year's event.
The Yorkshire team, which operates out of its Batley based showroom, will have 17-times TT winner John McGuinness, eight-times TT winner Bruce Anstey and one-time TT winner Gary Johnson riding its bikes this year.
Bruce, who won last year's Supersport Race 1 for the team, will compete for Pagetts in the Supersport 1 and 2, Superstock, Superbike and Senior Races.
He will be joined for the Supersport and Superstock races by John McGuinness who last year came second in those races for the team.
McGuinness will compete in the Superbike and Senior races for the Honda TT Legends team.
Gary, who last year won his first TT - the second Supersport race - will ride in the Superbike and Senior races for Padgetts.
The Padgetts team has a fantastic record of consistency at the TT.
It has won nine TTs - including Ian Hutchinson's record breaking five in a week in 2010 - in the last four years.
Since 2007 the team has taken a total of 14 podiums with four fastest laps including two lap records in the Superstock class - in 2009 and 2010.
In total, the team has 24 top five finishes from the last 31 races they've started in the same five year period.
Between the 2008 and 2010 Senior Races it has won eight out of the 11 races held.
Team boss Clive Padgett said: "We've got a great team again this year and I know that all the lads enjoy racing for our team.
"Everyone gets on really well and feels part of the family when they climb onto our bikes.
"I'm delighted to welcome Gary on board and I'm sure we can help him, and John and Bruce, to add to their wins on the Mountain Course. Roll on June."
TT and Motorsport Manager Paul Phillips said: "Padgetts has established themselves as the team to beat on the Isle of Man.
"There's a saying on the Isle of Man that to win the race you've got to finish it and Padgetts consistent performance has meant that they have had an unbeatable record over the last few years."
