Lee Johnston to make racing return at MGP 2024

35-year-old has been out of action since May last year due to injury

TT competitor Lee Johnston will make his return to racing at this month's Manx Grand Prix.

The 35-year-old will take part in the Lightweight and Classic Superbike races on Reed Racing RS250 and RC45 Honda machinery respectively.

The Northern Irishman - based in Yorkshire - has been out of action since May 2023 after sustaining serious injuries at the North West 200 that year before a testing crash in Spain in January this year.

As a result he has missed the last two Isle of Man TT Races as well as MGP 2023.

Along with having one TT win to his name from the 2019 Supersport TT Race 1, Johnston also boasts previous victories in the Lightweight Classic TT, Classic Senior MGP and Junior Classic TT.

The 2024 Manx Grand Prix is due to take place from 18-26 August.
