Mike Browne's best finish at the TT2024 meeting was a third place in the second Supertwins race

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."
