* Giacomo Agostini will star at Llan Bike Fest 2016.
With an unbeaten record of 122 Grand Prix wins and
15 World Championships titles, Ago is flying in especially from his Italian
home to spend the weekend at the Festival meeting fans, judging competitions
and providing opportunities for autographs and photos.
Agostini’s
appearance at LlanBikeFest follows news that top British racers Ian Hutchinson
and John McGuinness are unable make it to the event because of changes in their
commitments.
LlanBikeFest co-organiser John Hutchinson said: “We are sorry that
McGuinness and Hutchinson have had to bow out – but that can happen during a
busy racing season. We trust that the opportunity to meet Ago will more than
make up for any disappointment.”
Ago commented: “I am looking forward to
being at LlanBikeFest in July – a real festival of motorcycling for everyone
who loves bikes, in a beautiful part of the world.”
LlanBikeFest 2016 will build on the successful Festival last year, which
starred Carl Fogarty and Mick Grant, and attracted more than 6,000 visitors.
It is being held again at the town’s Pavilion set amid some of Britain’s best biking roads -
at the foot of the Horseshoe Pass and its famously bike-friendly Ponderosa
Café, and on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park.
On-site attractions will include hundreds of bikes, displays, stunts,
demonstrations, trade and club stands, plus beer, bands and evening
entertainment in Llangollen Town. There will also be a charity raffle in aid of
Wales Air Ambulance.
