Lee Johnston has broken his leg, so is a doubt t༺o compete atꦕ the 2024 North West 200.

Johnston suffered the injury𒊎 three weeks ago while testing in Cartagena, Spain but has only confirmed it now.

It threa🍃tens his participation at the Noꦆrth West 200 in May. He had hoped to return to the event where, last year, he was involved in a horrific crash.

Speaking on his Y✤ouTube channel, Johnston said: "I broke my right tibula and fibula literal⛎ly in the first session.

"It could have been worse and in a faster corner.

"It wasn't a mechanical issue. Just a part broke, so it was nobody's fault involved with t꧂he bike.

"I needed to ride a ✱bike, and that tracꦺk day was my only option, at the time."

Johnston was testing alone in Spain🎉 when he crashed.

He was🧜 hospitalised but signed himself out of the local hospital. He returned to England where he has undergone two operations.

Johnston will no longer compete at this 🥃week's Daytona 200, as he had planned to do.
