12-time Isle of Man TT winner Bruce Anstey will miss the 2018 season with his partner revealing he is currently battling cancer for the second time in his life.
Following the news that Triumph ValMoto have scaled down their British Supersport effort to a one man outfit, the team has now announced that it will not be competing in the 2004 Isle of Man TT races either.
The Triumph ValMoto British Supersport team rolled out their street racing specialist Bruce Anstey for Saturday's 37th Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix - and the New Zealander promptly turned heads by taking his third rostrum finish on the Daytona 600.
