“However, we wanted to share our good news and whilst we have to wait and see how the world recovers, we are still working behind the scenes to make sure Gary has one of our supertwins to race at the 2021 Isle of Man TT.
“Fingers crossed we will see Gary along side Rob Hodson out on them at some point soon.”

He said: “I am excited to be joining the team as they are proven front runners and three-times TT winners.
