First Lady of British Sportbikes


Jenny Tinmouth will achieve her finest breakthrough yet – by becoming the first woman ever to compete in the British Superbike Championship (with Splitlath Motorsport).

Jenny has established a reputation for herself as the world’s fastest female motorcycle racer. But she’s preparing to push the boundaries back even further over the coming months. She has been working her way up to the BSB after her becoming the quickest woman around the daunting Isle of Man TT circuit in 2009 when she lapped at an incredible average speed of 119.945mph.

“I’m over-the-moon to be in BSB this year and I still can’t believe it!” she enthused as she prepares to run the #100 in 2011. “My ambition has always been to race in BSB. I’ve been trying for some time, and I think all my hard work over the past seasons has finally paid off. I know it will be a massive learning curve, but hopefully now people will see that girls can race too and then hopefully more will see it is possible if you work hard enough at it. I was so keen to get on a Superbike that I that I was looking at options of running myself in the Evo class, so to get a ride with a team like Splitlath is fantastic! After a couple of years in Supersport and a few TT rides, this is a natural progression for me, and it’s wonderful to get the chance to do it. I’m incredibly grateful to John [Dimbylow – team owner] for giving me this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do on a Superbike.”

Kudos Jenny and good luck to ya!!
