Harrison stepping in for rider on Ashcourt Racing machine this year
Rider Lee Johnston says the Honda RC45 his team will run at this year's Manx Grand Prix 'is like a brand new bike' for 2023.
Johnston himself isn't competing this year as he recovers from injuries picked up in an incident at this year's North West 200 in May.
Manxman Nathan Harrison will deputise for him on the Ashcourt Racing machine in the Classic Superbike class.
Johnston says a lot of work has gone into the bike, and was asked how he feels about Harrison standing in for him this year:
