The British Superbike Championship introduces first female racer.

Today we received some fantastic news when we heard that female superbike racer, Jenny Tinmouth, was presented with the chance to sign with The MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship. A career changing decision and her most notable career move to date without a doubt.

Not only is Jenny’s signing to Britains premier bike racing promotion fantastic news for female bikers throughout the UK, it’s also great news for us, as she’ll be racing under the Honda Racing Team banner.

Jenny has been making waves on the superbike scene since joining the series, setting the bar and achieving many firsts for women on the scene. One of her many accolades includes being the first female to score a point in MCE BSB.

"I'm absolutely over the moon and cannot believe I'm riding for Honda Racing. The offer was totally unexpected. I went for a meeting with Nick [Campolucci] to discuss the season and had a few cheeky questions I wanted to ask about Honda helping me out with bikes, and when the offer came I couldn't believe what I was being asked. I went into the meeting thinking it would just be some help and came out as a full-time Honda rider. It's always been my ultimate dream to ride for the team and to have the opportunity this year is just amazing. I'm riding the Honda BSB bike for the first time during a team test in March and I can't wait." - Jenny Tinnmouth, Honda Racing Team.

She’ll be taking to the tracks alongside well known team members Dan Linfoot and Jason O’Halloran for the 12 round championship, on the Superbike-spec Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. The fireblade is a model that O'Halloran and Linfoot spent most of their 2014 developing. They will be making their return to competitive racing this year.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for Jenny being part of the Honda Racing team, alongside Dan and Jason. She's been on Hondas for a couple of years now running her own team. This year will be a huge learning curve, getting used to the team and the bike, but will also really push her in the series and hopefully generate some good results. It will also be a learning curve for us, but we're excited for the challenge. We've been aware of Jenny for a while now, not only being the only female in the BSB series but also her successes at the Isle of Man, and can't wait to see her on the bike at the first test in March." - Havier Beltran, Honda Racing team manager.

We can’t wait to see Jenny continue her success in the British Superbike Championship. We’re confident she’ll do the Honda Racing Team proud, especially with such experienced teammates to support her.

We would like to finish off by saying Congratulations Jenny, the Phoenix family are all behind you.
