Double Isle of Man TT winner Gary Johnson will ride a Triu🐲mph in the Supersport class at this year's Mountain Course festival after announcing a deal with Team T3 Racing.

The Lincolnshire rider will contest both Monster Energy Supersport races in June for the British Supersport Cup champions as he aims to 🧸add to his two wins in the class, achieved 🌼in 2011 and 2014.

"I'm really excited about this new venture and getting involved wit🐬h a new team, particularly one with T3's experience," said Johnson, who achieved h𓆉is second TT win on a Triumph in 2014.

"It's great to be back on🅰 a Triumph 675 as I have a wealth of knowledge on the bike and I hope to replicate the success of 2014 th💫is year. I'm eager to get going as we have a busy testing schedule ahead to be fully prepared for first practice in June."

Team T3 Racing principal Andy Jenkinson said he believed Johnson's TT pedigree would put the team in a strong position to challenge for a maiden win 🐼at the legendary event this year.

"We are thrilled that Gary is riding our bike this year. With over 15 years of racing experience with Aston Martin as a champion racing driver I have worked with the A1 GP, BTCC,ꦫ British GT and Heritage as promoters and sponsors," he said.

"I understand the challenges in putting together a winning team and I believe Gary and Tony🐬 [Scott, managing director, T3 Racing] are crucial to our success. As proven race winners, they are capable of putting us in a strong position to challenge for the win."

Last year, Johnson finished third and fifth ౠin the Supersport TT races on a Yamaha R6 for Northern Ireland team Mar-Train Racing.
