"The fastest woman ever around the isle of Man TT, Jenny Tinmouth, is set to be rewarded for her privateer efforts with a full-factory Honda seat in the MCE British Superbike Championship for 2015. Tinmouth will join Dan Linfoot and Jason O’Halloran as a fully-fledged member of the series’ only factory-backed team."


About time, we know she's fast, lets she what she can really do.

Great news. Whilst I personally don't think she's done enough to deserve a factory ride I do think itl be Great for women and girls to see that they can do it too.
I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong and see her get some cracking results. I know she's obviously very fast but her results wouldn't in my mind put her next in line for a Honda ride.

All in all hurry up brands hatch!

It's all about the marketing value. She is pleasing on the eye and very quick so will earn them bucket loads of cash.
Some top ten finishes wouldn't do her any harm!

A good thing for Jenny, as I understand it she had to beg, borrow and steal (figuratively!) to be on the grid last year.

I hope she goes well

Without doing her a disservice she will be doing exceptionally well to be a regular 6th - 8th place finisher.
Here's a list of riders so far and there are some very very very fast people there, at a glance fighting with the top fifteen names will be a tough ask.
All things being equal, obviously, regarding fitness and reliability etc.

Even on her old Honda she jumped up to the middle of the pack (just behind Ellison and ahead Easton and Linfoot) in qualifying last year at Brands Hatch (in the wet) just by having Clive Padgett work with her on setups.

All the best for her, looks should not be brought into the equation, she has landed a great job through determination and skill.

I bet there's no one in here that could hold a candle to her and I also bet with her being so fit she could kick the crap out of most of yous.
