The Englishman will campaign a Team York-run Suzu🌠ki GSX-R750 in the four-lꦍap final race of the event on 26 August.

Team York has enjoyed reasonable success in the Classic Superbike class over the years, including podiums with Mark 🍸Buckley.

The squad switched from running an XR69 Suzuki to the GSX-R750 last year, with Mike Norbury finishing 16th on the bike 🐟in 2023.

Coward achieved a best lap of 124.229mph in 2019 ඣin the class and breached 🦄the top five in the 2018 race.

His appearance at the Manx GP comes after a strong s🐭howing at the Isle of Man TT ear♎lier this year, in which he managed a best of fourth in the Supersport and Supertwin classes.

He withdrew from the Senio🔜r TT due to a forearm injury.
