Ten-time Isle of Man TT winner, "The Flying Kiwi", Bruce Anstey is born in Wellington, New Zealand.
Bruce Anstey's Isle of Man TT history in itself is the stuff of legends, head-shaking stories told in bars and pubs, tales of epic lap-speeds passed down to children. A professional motorcycle road racing career that has spanned nineteen years. So far.
Considered by many to be one of the most consistent racers in GP history, he is currently signed to ride for the Padgett's Honda Racing Team having previously ridden for TAS Suzuki Racing, Valmoto Triumph and DTR Yamaha.
Anstey made his Isle of Man TT debut in 1996, riding a Yamaha 250cc that finished in 29th place in the Lightweight TT.

Twelve years later, on Sunday June 7, 2015, Anstey achieved the highlight of his career, winning the Superbike TT.
