AIM Suzuki rider Gary Johnson begins his T.T. preparations with a test session in Spain next week.
Johnson took his first ever T.T. podium when he finished third in last year's Senior race.
He already has experience of his new team after racing for AIM at last November's Macau Grand Prix where he finished fourth.
Johnson says the British Championship is important to him, but the T.T. is the one event which looms largest in the year ahead:-
