Browne joins KTS Racing for TT after Coward ruled out
Republic of Ireland rider Mike Browne is to ride for KTS Racing in the 1000cc classes at the Isle of Man TT after the team's regular rider Jamie Coward was ruled out of the event through injury. Coward confirmed earlier this week that he was withdrawing from the TT because of injuries sustained in a crash at the recent North West 200 international road races in Northern Ireland. Browne will now be on board Honda machinery for the Superbike, Superstock and Senior races. The Cork rider had been scheduled to ride BMW bikes for the MLav Racing outfit, for whom he competed at the North West. Browne will retain his Yamaha ride with BPE by Russell Racing for the Supersport races and his KMR Kawasaki machine for the Supertwins outings. The 34-year-old made his TT debut in 2019 and has achieved two podium finishes to date, along with a personal best lap of 130.872mph. "Firstly, I would like to wish Jamie a speedy recovery. I am very keen to get going with the KTS Racing team and have high hopes to better the results of last year," said Browne. Meanwhile, KTS Racing powered by Stanley Stewart Team Owner, Kevin Watret added: "We are all gutted to have Jamie injured following his off at the North West 200 and wish him a speedy recovery. "We welcome Mike on board with KTS. Let's see if we can get him some good results."

Coward to return to NW200 with KTS Racing for 2025
Yorkshireman Jamie Coward is to return to the North West 200 in 2025 with his KTS Racing team after a three-year absence. Among his stable of machinery will be a factory-backed Triumph for the Supersport class and BMW bikes for the Superbike and Superstock categories. The 34-year-old secured his first podium result over the Triangle circuit in 2019 when he finished runner-up to Stefano Bonetti in the opening Supertwins outing. He followed that up with two fifth place finishes in Supertwins and Superstocks when the event returned after a two-year hiatus because of the Covid outbreak in 2022. Impressed by Coward's fourth place in the second Supersport TT race last June, the Macadam Triumph Factory Racing team have stepped up to partner him and his KTS squad for the middleweight category at the North West and Isle of Man TT. "I'm looking forward to getting on the new bike and equally looking forward to coming back to the North West," said Coward. "It's a circuit I've always enjoyed and had good results at so with support from Triumph we should be even closer to the front." North West 200 Race Director Mervyn Whyte said it was "a major boost to have a road racer of Jamie's calibre back at the North West 200 and fantastic news that he will be representing Triumph with KTS Racing". "To have official factory machinery on the grid is a very significant development for the event," he added. The North West 200 practices and race period will be from 7-10 May.
