Sam — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 16:21:14 +0000

Spencer-Fleet has raced in numerous series alongside some very familiar faces this year

Sergeant Richard Spencer-Fleet is a Vehicle Mechanic with the Army’s Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. Also an avid motorcycle racer, he’s been a significant player in the EBC-supported Army Motorcycle Road Race Team for a number of years.

Throughout 2021, he competed in a number of championships, including the Ducati TriOptions Cup on his Panigale V2s. Spencer-Fleet uses 91��ý’ GPFAX race pads and X-Series floating discs on his motorcycles.

He gives us the full story of his 2021 season in his own words below.

“Thank you to 91��ý for the support for myself and the Army team this year. We are really looking forward to 2022 now.

“I pick up the new bike next week – another Panigale V2.

“What can we say about the 2021 season? It’s been absolutely epic at times but I’ve also had some really bad lows.

“So, we’ve managed to race in the Ducati TriOptions Cup in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship with racing legends such as Chris ‘Stalker’ Walker and John McGuinness. I would like to say everyone on that grid is great and I’ve found some great friends there – all legends. Congratulations to Josh Day at Dayo Racing for another championship win!

“We’ve also been lucky enough to be on the grid during a WorldSBK meeting, with Scott Redding Live Updates and Aruba.it Racing – Ducati coming out to the pitlane to support us! That was pretty amazing!

“I was also given the opportunity to ride for Triumph Motorcycles at the Goodwood Festival of Speed! What an experience; rubbing shoulders in the changing rooms with some two- and four-wheel legends like Agostini and Damon Hill to name just a couple. Then, to line up on the hill run next to Carl Fogarty, Steve Parrish, John Reynolds and the wheelie king Dougie Lampkin. Not forgetting my little buddy Carl Stevens. This day will not be forgotten by myself or my family. Was truly amazing.��

“Then to the Inter Services Road Racing Championships in Thundersport GB racing for ARMY Motorcycle Road Race Team. It’s been a great season, winning four of the five races and only losing the last race by 0.1 second over the line – this was one of my races of the season! Coming away with the GBRacing World Class Motorcycle Protection Interservice Individual Championship was a great result.”

“It’s difficult to say it but the time has now come to hang up my leathers… until next season that is!

“I’m really looking forward to winter testing in Spain. What championships I’ll be entering is still unknown. It’s time now to rest, repair my broken body and get ready for 2022 – I’m coming for you bigger and faster than ever!

“Massive thanks to all at EBC for their support.”

Trio of Suzuki GSX-R 1000 racers will compete with 91��ý products throughout the 2021 season

Buckinghamshire-based MSG Racing has been an established name in the motorcycle racing paddock for almost two decades, covering various large national series with some very well-known riders over the years.

Campaigning mainly in the Thundersport GB championship for 2021, the outfit will once again use 91��ý’ high-performance discs and pads on its trio of race-prepped Suzuki GSX-R 1000 machines, ridden by Chris Curtis, Sam Osborne and Will Harper.

The team give us a brief history of their successes in their own words below.

”MSG Racing formed as a race team in 2002, alongside Gavin Reed’s then-small motorcycle repair business, working from home since 1999.

From national club racing to British Superbikes as well as racing in Spain, Gavin set out to help chosen riders on the way to achieve their racing dream, leading to over 50 club championships and some of the lads moving on to British Superbikes and the Isle of Man TT.

”Today’s riders are all established MSG-supported riders and have been working with the team for several seasons now. All three are racing the latest model Suzuki GSX-R 1000 machines prepared and maintained by MSG Racing. For 2021, we have Chris Curtis, Sam Osborne and Will Harper in the 1000cc GP1 class with Thundersport GB. We are all looking forward to the season ahead and working with EBC and their great braking products.

Full team members are Will Harper, Chris Curtis, Sam Osborne, John ‘Snowy’ Chapman and Gavin Reed, along with much appreciated support from others both on and off track.

Back at the workshop, race prep and dyno tuning is carried out by Gavin and Daniel Diamond (also a racer himself when possible).

None of what we do would be possible without the help of some amazing working partners. Bring on the 2021 race season and let’s add to the championship tally…
