TT rider 'couldn't agree suitable deal' with team of eight years

TT rider Dean Harrison is set to part ways with his long-time team DAO Racing.

The bike racer, from Bradford, has been with the outfit for eight years and says it's a 'genuinely sad choice to make, that didn’t come easy'.

Team Manager Jonny Bagnall says it comes after they 'couldn't agree a suitable deal' as his contract was due to end at the end of 2023. 

Dean added: 'DAO Racing is one of the best teams in the paddock and in some ways I’d be silly to leave it.'

'I’ve been on the Kawasaki for 8 years now, and I’m so grateful for and the opportunities I’ve had.'
