Kneen joins Brookes in Jackson Racing Supersport squad

Manxman Dan Kneen will join Josh Brookes to ride the Jackson Racing Supersport bike at TT 2017.

Kneen, who is already campaigning BMWs in Superbike and Superstock for the Penz13.com outfit, replaces Lee Johnston who split with the team after the North West 200.

The 29-year old Braddan rider has enjoyed some of his best moments around the Mountain Course in the Supersport class and his best TT result remains the fifth place he secured in the opening Monster Energy Supersport race in 2010. Kneen took a brace of ninths on the Padgetts Honda in 2015 when he lapped at 125.587mph, his best ever lap on a 600cc machine but missed last year’s event with injury.

“It's a real bonus to bring Dan in beside Josh. They will both be getting our full support during TT2017. The TT is what our year is geared towards and we’ve invested a lot of time, effort and money into this year’s campaign both on and off the track. We’ve got a good infrastructure and good machinery and the whole team is looking forward to working with a great pair of riders,” said team boss Alan Jackson.
