Isle of Man TT: Venter to make TT debut in 2013

Allann-Jon Venter will make his Mountain course debut at the Isle of Man TT races in 2013.

The 24-year-old South African will race for Mick Charnock's TC Racing Honda/DP Coldplaning outfit.

He said: "Lots of people are aware of the TT back home in South Africa and it's been on my radar for a while. I'm under no illusions about the task."

Venter will contest the Superbike, Superstock and Senior races on Honda machinery.

Team boss, Mick Charnock, has a long history of TT and Manx Grand Prix success and has worked with riders including TT winner Cameron Donald, David Johnson and Jimmy Storrar.
