Josh Brookes to race for Norton at TT 2018

Mon, 05 Feb 2018

Josh Brookes will race for Norton at this year's Isle of Man TT.

The team confirmed the former British Superbike champion will represent the Norton factory in the Superbike and Senior TT again this year.

The Australian returned from a two-year TT absence last year with Norton, recording his fastest ever lap around the mountain course on his way to a sixth-placed finish in the Senior TT.

Norton describe Brookes as one of a handful of riders capable of competing for podiums and race wins at the TT.

The bike is currently being developed and tested by two-time TT race winner Steve Plater.
