New Next Generation Supersport Race Sponsor Secured for Armoy.
DUCATI Antrim, formerly Millsport Motorcycles, has been confirmed as a new sponsor for this year’s Armoy Road Races, which are taking place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July.
Gearing up to welcome huge crowds of road racing fans across the two days, Ducati Antrim is sponsoring the Next Generation Supersport 2 race on the Saturday, which is one of the biggest and most competitive races in the programme.
Based in Ballymoney, the family-run business holds the sole Ducati franchise for Northern Ireland and over the years its race team has supported a number of high-profile riders including Conor Cummins, Alistair Seeley, Martin Finnegan, Michael Rutter, Jason Griffiths and Ryan Farquhar to name but a few.
Aaron Lyons from Ducati Antrim said: “We’re very much looking forward to being involved with Armoy Road Races as a sponsor this year, especially as we’re all such big motorcycle enthusiasts. The Next Generation Supersport 2 race will be an exciting event and the Ducati Panigale V2 bike is due to feature, so we’re looking forward to seeing it perform in this high-powered, fast race. The Armoy Road Races attracts such a high calibre of riders every year, and we’re delighted to be involved.”
In operation for nearly twenty years, Ducati Antrim specialises in new bikes from Ducati as well as a wide range of used bikes.
Gareth McAuley, Chairman of the AMRRC commented: “We are really pleased to have Ducati Antrim on board as a new sponsor for the Next Generation Supersport 2 race. It’s well known that the team are all hugely knowledgeable about the sport and are very passionate about it.
“The Armoy Road Races relies heavily on business support to enable the races to take place, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ducati Antrim and all of our sponsors. We’re officially on the countdown to the races and our Club volunteers are busy preparing for what we hope will be another memorable two days of fantastic road racing.”
Armoy Road Races is once again expected to welcome a large crowd of local and visiting fans as they enjoy a busy programme of 14 races.
Event programmes are currently available to purchase, which includes a vehicle parking pass and a limited-edition event lanyard, enabling spectators to enter vantage points around the circuit that are situated on privately owned land.
Part funded by Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, the Armoy Road Races will take place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July, culminating with the prestigious Bayview Hotel Race of Legends.
