Sidecar aces Tom Hanks and Phil Biggs will make their return to the Isle of Man TT Races this year after seven years away from the event, during which time they have been chasing World Championship glory in the F1 class. Hanks last appeared on the Island in 1999 when he was partnered by Steve Wilson on their way to third in the Sidecar A race and in 1997 he was the overall winner of the event, finishing second and third in the two races. In that same year, Biggs partnered Roy Hanks, Tom's uncle, to victory in the first Sidecar race and also had his last appearance on the Island in 1999.
