Lee Johnston Returns for 2024 Isle of Man TT

Lee Johnston Returns for 2024 Isle of Man TT :

Lee Johnston has announced he will return to the Isle of Man for the 2024 TT Races with Ashcourt Racing.

Johnston missed the 2023 event due to life-threatening injuries sustained at the 2023 North West 200. This year his TT Campaign will feature a Honda CBR1000RR-R SP for the Superbike and Superstock events and an Aprilia RS 660 in the Supertwin class. His machine for the Supersport class is yet to be confirmed.

“It’s never good to miss a year at the TT, but even more so when the weather was as good as it was last year. The amount of track time and the sheer number of laps completed saw the game move on considerably. You’ve got to do 130mph+ now to win a Supersport race which is unreal.”

“I’m being realistic about it. This will be somewhat of a rebuilding year but I can’t wait to get back on my bike at the TT. Obviously I want to do as well as possible, particularly in the Supersport and Supertwin Races, but I want to enjoy it as well.”

Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Ian Hutchinson back with Milenco Padgett’s Honda Team for 2024 Calendar

Three-time North West 200 race winner, Ian Hutchinson will be re-united with the Milenco Padgett’s Honda squad for a full-scale onslaught on the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport races at the 2024 Briggs Equipment North West 200 in May.

The move marks another inspiring comeback for the 44 year old during a career that has seemed to be an almost relentless battle against injury and illness since he last raced full-time with the Yorkshire-based team during 2010.

Hutchinson’s stunning ten race winning run with the Padgett’s team at that season’s NW200, Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix and Scarborough Gold Cup ended when he sustained a serious leg injury at Silverstone in September 2010.

After enduring more than 40 operations, the ‘Bingley Bullet’ eventually fought his way back into contention to claim victory in the 2013 Macau Grand Prix plus, a third win at the NW200 in 2016 and eight more TT triumphs before he crashed and broke his leg again during the 2017 Senior TT.

Battling back to fitness again, Hutchy returned to road racing with Honda in 2018, riding a Padgetts prepared CBR600RR to 7th and 16th place finishes in the Supersport class at the NW200.
