TAG Racing Team are now an Official Honda Racing UK Supported Team, with Dan Linfoot Riding the Superbike and Shaun Winfield on the 1000 Superstock Bike.

Yorkshire rider Dan Linfoot will be riding for the TAG Racing Team for his third consecutive season; last season was cut short for the rider and team due to technical problems with the Yamaha YZF-R1. He took part in the final round of the 2020 season at Brands Hatch in the 1000 Superstock Class and scored a podium finish for the Bathams Racing Team. Dan is really excited for the 2021 season after his 2020 season was probably the toughest year of his career so far, being back on a Honda is ideal for the 32-year-old, he was very impressed with the results that Andrew and Glenn Irwin had with the Honda during the 2020 season.

I cant’t wait to get going now, it’s an exciting project to be a part of and everyone in the team is fully focussed on getting back to where we both know we can be. From the conversations I’ve had with Shaun the bike is brilliant out of the box, so I’m very confident the superbike will be even better.

Honda Racing UK Team Manager Havier Beltran is thrilled to have more Fireblades on the grid next year in both the 2021 Bennetts British Superbike and National Superstock 1000 championships.

We proved the potential of the new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP this year with wins in both series, as well as finishing runner-up in the Superstock 1000 class, so to have more machines at the sharp end is always going to be good for Honda.

TAG Racing Team manager Gary Winfield is honoured to have been selected as a Honda Racing UK supported Team for 2021. From the first conversations with Honda UK and the TAG Racing Team, everyone knew it was the right decision going forwards.

We must thank Harv and the Honda Racing UK team for their backing for 2021, we know their support will help us in our journey, and hopefully we can play our part in helping them with development.

Shaun Winfield will be returning in the 1000 Superstock Class for the 2021 season, he is really excited to be part of Honda Uk, The Fireblade is a fantastic machine and with more testing and development time under their belts, the team feel they can be strong in 2021.
