2016 BMW S1000RR MICHAEL RUTTER
2017 HAS BEEN a brilliant season for me and the team. We finished third in British Superstock overall, and we had a great season on the roads, too. I did my fastest ever lap at the TT at 131.7mph in the Senior to finish fifth, I got a fourth in the Superstock race, a fifth in the Superbike race and a win in the Lightweight. The North West 200 was good, too. I got a win, two seconds, a third and a fifth. It’s been one of the best seasons of racing for me for a long time, but most importantly, we’ve all really enjoyed it. We really understand the bike now, which makes a massive difference, and Alec made the superlight Macau bike that felt fantastic to ride (before naffing off on holiday as soon as the season finished... slacker).
