Dean Harrison set to part ways with DAO Racing

TT rider 'couldn't agree suitable deal' with team of eight years

TT rider Dean Harrison is set to part ways with his long-time team DAO Racing.

The bike racer, from Bradford, has been with the outfit for eight years and says it's a 'genuinely sad choice to make, that didn’t come easy'.

Team Manager Jonny Bagnall says it comes after they 'couldn't agree a suitable deal' as his contract was due to end at the end of 2023. 

Dean added: 'DAO Racing is one of the best teams in the paddock and in some ways I’d be silly to leave it.'

'I’ve been on the Kawasaki for 8 years now, and I’m so grateful for and the opportunities I’ve had.'
