One of the teams that competes at the Isle of Man TT is pulling out of the sport.

Mar-Train Racing - whose riders include Manxman Dan Kneen - released a statement saying they are withdrawing from the sport after 11 years.

The team had an option to extend their deal with Yamaha for two more years, but decided not to take the option up.

Gary Johnson gave the team their first TT podium in the Supersport class in 2015.
