Is this the next Manxman to win at the Isle of Man TT?
"People like John McGuinness havඣe been here for so long but he’s improving."

Michael Evans is hoping a change of scenery can inspire an Isle of Man T🔯T victory this year.
🍸Evans dreams of becoming just the fourth Manxma♎n to win a TT race.
He has joined Dafabet Racing for 2025, joꦍin꧟ing forces for the 1000cc and Supertwin classes.
Evans will also jump on a Honda Fir𝔍eblade for the Superbike class, and ride a Kawasaki in the S🔯upertwin class.
“I’m excited to see how I can progress with the Honda. It will be tricky because it’⛄s a new bike for both parties,” Evans told Manx Radio.
“It will tak𝕴e time. These things always do. It’s an evolution - if you miss something, you learn it the year after.
“I had the same ꦛwith my own bike. It took two years to get i꧂t into a position where you know how it works, with a good base setup.”
Evans ꩲsaid about his change of scenery into Dafabet Racing: “It’s a good thing, I need to remember that. I w💯ant to forget about being a mechanic because I’m not a very good one!
“Just worry about the riding, be ready. The♓re are others in that situation. It will be nꦰice to just worry about myself.
“I want to im💙p🌼rove. People like John McGuinness have been here for so long but he’s improving.
“Last year was his fastest𝄹-ever six laps. People say he’s past it? I don’t see why.
“Peter Hickman, Davey Todd🐈, go really,🧸 really fast! But it’s experience and improving.
“I want to win every 🗹race. Whether it’s realistic or not, I want to win a TT.
“I won at the Manx so I know what it feels l💧ike. I’m addicted to that feeli✃ng.”
Evans won the 2017 Junior and Senior Man▨x 🐓Grand Prix.
He has been inside the top💜 20 of a TT race꧋ on 12 occasions.
Evans’ best result at the TT so far is seventh in the 🦄2023 Supertwin Race 2.
Last year, he set his person📖al fastest lap (averaging 128.232mph) in the 1000cc class.
