MLav Racing boss Michael Laverty says it “made sense” for Mike Browne to switch to KTS Racing before the Isle of Man TT.
MLav Racing owner Michael Laverty explained that Mike Browne’s decision to move to KTS Racing for the Isle of Man TT made sense following a challenging North West 200 race. Laverty signed Browne and Ian Hutchinson for MLav’s first road racing campaign in 2025, but due to delays in the project, priorities had to be set between the riders. Browne’s departure from MLav to join KTS Racing came after Jamie Coward’s injury at the North West 200, making bikes available to him. Laverty understood Browne’s decision, citing issues with bike delivery and lack of testing opportunities for Browne. Despite his initial hopes to have Browne on his team, Laverty acknowledged that the circumstances led to Browne making a logical choice in joining KTS Racing for the TT.
