MGM’s Award-winning Riders at the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix
Since 2008, MGM has been sponsoring top bikers to race in the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix. This year MGM will sponsor FHO Racing BMW Motorrad, a team set-up by Macanese Faye Ho, to make its debut at the race. Leading the lineup is the legendary multi-time champion of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix, Michael Rutter, who will thrive at his 26th race in one of the world’s most challenging street circuits. The team also features the three-time Macau winner, British racer Peter Hickman, who has just aced and set a new outright lap record on the Mountain course at the Isle of Man TT this June; and Australian racer Josh Brookes. Although a Macau newcomer, Josh is a former two-time British Superbike Champion, has also raced in World Superbikes and is determined to bring a vast amount of racing experience to the Guia Circuit.
On the other hand, MGM will also sponsor two individual riders – Yorkshire’s Davey Todd, who has been re-united with the Burrows Engineering squad to race yet another M1000RR; and Sam West, who completes an entry of 12 British riders in a starting line-up of 23.
