DL12 INDOOR

-

Honda UK is the latest major supporter to renew its partnershi­p with the DL12 Indoor Trial and, for the second consecutiv­e year, will be the event’s exclusive motorcycle manufactur­er partner when the action at DL12 Indoor Trial V2.0 gets underway at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena on Saturday 13th January 2024.

Honda UK’s continued backing builds on this year’s successful partnershi­p that included the Japanese brand providing hospitalit­y for several of its dealers, who also got to meet Repsol Honda riders Toni Bou and Gabriel Marcelli during a private Q+A session.

Honda UK’s invited guests also included multiple TT winner John McGuinness and triple motocross World Champion David Thorpe.

Event co-promoter Dougie Lampkin, who achieved five of his twelve FIM World Championsh­ip titles riding for Honda, is delighted to renew the partnershi­p, saying: “It is great news to get a global brand like Honda behind us for the second year in a row. Their support this year was invaluable and allowed us to invest in the new elevated section and race. I am really looking forward to working closely with the Honda UK team again for the 2024 edition and adding to their part of the course.”

Graham Foster-Vigors, Honda UK’s Off-Road Sales Manager, stated: “This year’s DL12 Indoor Trial was a resounding success, not only for Honda UK but also for all the fans, the teams, the industry and the sport as a whole, so we are very happy to continue our partnershi­p next year. Honda supported Dougie for much of his career, and it is very satisfying to see him continue his success story as the co-promoter of such a high-profile event that will again include our two factory trial riders."
