Rider and team have 'mutually agreed to end their collaboration'
Austrian rider Julian Trummer will now not compete at this year's TT with the Lionheart Moto Racing team.
In an update on social media, the competitor says he and the crew have mutually agreed to end their collaboration.
He says the decision was 'anything but easy' but with everything that's developed so far 'it just wasn't enough to give me the trust I need on the bike.'
Trummer - who'd been due to compete in the 1000cc and Supersport class with the team - is thanking Lionheart Moto Racing for the time spent with them and is wishing them well for the future.

"After careful consideration, I’ve decided that I won’t be competing at this year’s Isle of Man TT with Lionheart Moto Racing. The team and I have mutually agreed to end our collaboration.
"This decision was anything but easy. Anyone who knows me knows how deeply my heart beats for the TT. Weeks and months of preparation, full of hope, passion, and drive...
"But sometimes, only in the final moments does it become clear whether everything truly fits – technically, personally, emotionally. And this time, it just wasn’t enough to give me the trust I need on the bike.
"I want to thank the team for the time we shared and wish them all the best in the future.
"Please don’t take it the wrong way if I haven’t replied to your messages... my phone was absolutely flooded yesterday
"Im okay, even though its very bitter. I just need a few weeks to clear my head and figure things out."
