EVO Design Solutions
UK team EVO Design Solutions is based in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in the
East Midlands.
The EVO team will be entering three bikes into the TTXGP – the EV0-R
(Open Class x2) and the EV0-RR (Pro Class). Olie Linsdell will ride the
Pro Class entry, while Paul Owens and 7-times TT winner Mick Grant will
ride the Open Class bikes.
Rick Simpson, Director at EVO Design Solutions Ltd, said, “We are
trying to highlight the all British design, manufacture and race team.
The motor, chassis and control systems are all developed and built in
the UK.
The race is already being billed as the new ‘Battle of the
Transatlantic’ with the US ‘Mission One’ entry. We have Mick Grant and
Peter Williams in the team who were both influential in the
Transatlantic challenges in the ‘70s”. We are very excited about the
opportunity to design a motorcycle for such a prestigious event and
that may very well be the forerunner to the way motorsport will be
shaped in the future.”
Ollie Linsdell, rider in the Pro Class category for EVO Design
Solutions said: “By the end of my riding career this is going to be the
way to go, so it seemed sensible for me to get involved and help make
it work.”
