Northern Ireland’s Lee Johnston won’t be retuning to the roads next year, choosing to sit out the NW 200 and TT.
The BBC has reported he will focus on the British Supersport Championship with his new team Swan Sencat Triumph Racing.
The one-time TT winner hasn’t raced on the roads since a bad crash at the NW200 in 2023.
“The team didn’t want to do any road racing,” Johnston told BBC Sport NI.
“Some people will probably say it’s because of the crash but it’s not really that.
“I would have to go and part-time ride for another team [to do the roads], which I don’t feel ever works out well.
“If I do get the chance to come back it will be with the same team doing everything to do the job properly.”
