QUOTE: Met Archie out on a pushbike today maybe he's got his dedication hat back on if he is staying wiith tas. met him about 25 miles from his home so he must be fitter than i gave him credit for or of course mel might have dropped him off! :D really do hope he has spectacular 2007 he deserves it. sure he did'nt regognise me but i waved an poor soul was drenched and still was able to wave back. Go Archie :D
Maybe all the slagging he has got has put fire in his gut to shut the doubters up!!! Archie piled on the weight at the start of 2006, but seemed to lose in within afew weeks; he's dedicated all right!! As long as he doesn't get in the way of Farquhar cleaning up this year I will be happy 8)
QUOTE: I would just like to ask how you now so much about the TAS team?
Tinkers, is Bruce Anstey's girl friend. That's how she knows (Pillow talk).
Anyway if anyone deserves to stay with the TAS team or any other team he might choose, It's Brucey Boy.
Adrian Archibald had a disappointing season in 2006
Adrian Archibald and Bruce Anstey will ride for the TAS Suzuki team at the North West 200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix road races in 2007.
The pair have agreed deals to continue their association with the Northern Ireland based outfit run by Hector and Philip Neill.
Ryan Farquhar, who missed much of this season, has left the team.
Anstey will be entering his fourth year with the squad while Archibald has won three TTs in TAS Suzuki colours.
Ballymoney man Archibald rejoined the Moneymore team for this year's TT and Ulster Grand Prix after riding for Team Racing in the early part of the year, but had a poor series of results.
The focal point of the Suzuki team's efforts will be the centenary of the TT in June.
They will also campaign the British short circuit championship but no riders have yet been confirmed.
QUOTE: Great news, u dont no if Archies ridin any of the National roads???
Didn't he do an interview last year where he agreed that he had rested on his laurels for a while and that he'd be "upping his game" in 2006? I'd expect him to do as many nationals and ISB meetings to keep his "race head" on for the Big Three.
