Russell Racing plans to continue with Mike Browne for the 2026 Isle of Man TT road races, with additional changes in store. Browne will ride not only the Supersport class but also the 1,000cc categories this year. Despite racing for the Triumph-affiliated KTS team last year, he will return to Russell Racing for his third consecutive year. The team will now delve into the ‘big bike’ classes with Honda machinery. In the Supersport category, the Yamaha R9 replaces the R6, offering competitive machinery for Browne to pursue results. The team owner, Alister Russell, emphasized their serious approach to the TT races this year. Browne’s participation is confirmed for the Sportbike class, and the 2026 Isle of Man TT is scheduled to take place from May 25 to June 6.
