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

The Isle of Man TT, North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix winner has been sidelined since suffering 💝serious injuries a🦩t the North West in 2023.

While he’d planned to be bac💟k 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 British Supersport - in which he was also competing in 2024💖 - with IN Competition Sencat.

The squad is expan🔯ding its support class presence in British 🍨Superbikes alongside its top class team with Lewis Rollo.

However, Johnston confirmed on his YouTube channel that ꧒he will not be doing any road racing t🐽his year.

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

“As of 2025, 𒁃I am not going to be doing any road ra🌜cing,” he said.

“So, that’s no Noꩲrth West 200, no Isle of Man TT, and this is no🎐t me having a big retirement speech.

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

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

“This team does not ♐want to go road racin🌃g and that’s their decision and that’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 experien𝓀ce.

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

“With me missing th♓e 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 frustra♓te 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 racingꦑ, but then that makes us concentrate really hard on the British Supersport Championship. So, I’m super excited about that.”

Johnston will race a Triumph 765 next season.
