Kneen out in the cold

Mar-Train Racing pull out of sport

Manx road racer Dan Kneen is out in the cold with his 2017 plans up in the air.

That's after a shock announcement from his Mar-Train Racing team saying they were withdrawing from the sport after eleven years involvement.

The northern Ireland outfit declined an option to extend their official Yamaha UK road race deal for a further two years.

Mar-Train Racing have enjoyed title success in the British Supersport Championship and at the North West 200 as well as podium finishes at the T.T. and Ulster Grand Prix.
