Lee Johnston has announced he will not be doing any road racing in 2025 after signing a deal to race 𝔍for IN Competition Sencat in British Supersport.

The Isle of Man TT, North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix winner has been si꧃delined since suffering serious injuries at the North West in 2023.

While he’d planned to be back for 2024, a broken leg during testing meant he🧸 was forced to miss most of the road racing season again - though was able to compete at the Manx GP and the Macau GP.

With Aschourt Racing pulling out of racing at the end of the year, Johnston has been able to secure a ride in Briti🐓sh Supersport - in which🧜 he was also competing in 2024 - with IN Competition Sencat.

The squad is expanding its support class presence in British Superbikes alongside its top cl♏ass 💖team with Lewis Rollo.

However, Johnston confirmed on his YouTu🍌be channel that he will not be doing any road racing this year.

He says the team doesn’t want to do it while others he spoke to didn’t♓ have e𒆙nough experience for him to be able to commit.

“As of 20♏25, I am not going to be doing 🌳any road racing,” he said.

“So, that’s no North West 200, no Isle of Man TT, and this is not me having a big retirement speec🌺h.

“This is not me saying I’m retired from road 🌄racing. It’s just not possible to do that correctly next year.

“I spoke to quite a few teams over the past four or five months, trying to get as much information in as I possibly could to try and make the plans♎ for the future.

“This team does not want to go road racing and that’s the💦ir decision and tha♐t’s their call. And I completely stand by that.

“Some of the other teams that I spoke to that did♑ want to go road racing didn’t really have any road racing ex🅷perience.

“They had a little bit. I’ve been in a good team for quite a few𝔉 years, so to take a step back would be pointless.

“With me ꦇmissing the roads for a few years, the biggest thing 🔯I felt I needed was a genuine top team that knew how to do everything and there was no worry or extra risk added.

“So, I thought it was better not to do the job ♛if I couldn’t do it properly than just to go and make up the numbers or just be circulating and things not be right because I think that would frustrate me even more than the fact I’ve not been fit to do it.

“So, that is the plan for 2025. We will not be doing any road racing, but then that makes us concentrateℱ really hard on the British Superspoꩵrt Championship. So, I’m super excited about that.”

Johnston will race a Triumph 765 next season.
