The Scott Racing team has annou♋nced that it is expanding its Isle of Man TT presence for 2025, with Manx racer Joe Yeardsley making his big bike class d💛ebut with the outfit.

Yeardsley, winner🅷 of the Senior Manx Grand ꧙Prix in 2023, contested only the Supersport and Supertwin classes at his debut TT last year.

Carrying a hand injury thwarted his charge, but he still came away with a top🌳 12 finish in one of the two Supersport races and an🌳 eighth in the Supertwin class.

For the first tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚime in 2025, Yeardsley will tackle the big bike classes at the TT, with Scott Racin♒g fielding him on the Aprilia RSV4 Mike Browne rode last year to the marque’s fastest ever lap in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races.

On top of that, Yeardsley will campaign a Yama💙ha ꧃R6 in the Supersport races and an Aprilia RS 660 in the Supertwin class.

French racer Julien Cregniot will be his team-mateౠ.

“To be honest I have mixed feelings looking back on last year’s TT as a lack of track time both before the TT and durജing practice week meant I didn’t get as many laps as I would have liked, on top of the hand injury,” Yeardsley said.

“I didn’t make as much progress as I’d hoped in the Supertwin class where my lap t🍬imes were pretty m💫uch the same as the Manx.

“Having said that, never in a million years did I think I’d take a top ten finish in my first year at the TT, so I was over the moon with the resu༒lt!

“I was𓄧 equally pleased with the 600cc results; a top 12 finish in the Supersport race is something to be proud of so those two classes will again be my main𓃲 focus this year.

“I only started racing in 2021 and I’ve never rid🎀den a big bike before ❀anywhere so am aware there’s a steep learning curve ahead of me.

“The beauty though is that eve𓄧ryone knows that and there are no expectations, aims or hopes from anyone when it comes to the 🦋1000cc races.

“It’s a project for all of us so it🌳’s all about learning as much as I c🤡an this first year to put me in good stead for the years after.

“The Supersport and Supertwin races will be the ones where we hope to get some strong results again and we’ll t🐷ake🌠 it as it comes on the big bike.

“With a good pre-season and plenty of meetings pencilled in though, I’ll be better prepare💃d than ever for the TT so am confident of having a strong year.”
