Dan Stewart and SMT join forces for Isle of Man TT

Cumbrian Dan Stewart has teamed up with Briꦦtish championship outfit SMT Racing for a second successive year at the Isle of Man TT.
Stewart, a forꦫmer TT Privateer's Champion, will ride a Honda CBR1000RR in the Superbikeﷺ and Senior races and a CBR6000RR in the Supersport class.
He was also cont🍬est the Superstockﷺ race on a new Honda Fireblade or the Kawasaki he will ride in the National Superstock 1000 Championship this season.
Stewart, from Barrow-in-Furness, has chalked up 18 top ten finishes at the TT and set a new personal best lap of the♕ Mountain Course last year, lapping at 129.077mph in the Superbike race before he was cruelly denied the chance of equalling his best ever TT result of sixth due to a holed radiator.
Team owner Robin Croft said: "We are delighted to be returning to the TT in 2014 wit𓃲h Dan Stewart.
"I'm a massive fan of the TT and it is the highlight of our year. Dan did a 🍬superb 🍌job for us last year and we plan to build upon that experience in 2014 and hopefully cause a few shocks.
"Dan's not far away from a 130mph lap now and we aꦆre sure 𒀰he will achieve that this year and will be a regular feature at the top of the leaderboards."
Lancashire-based SMT Racing has increased its p😼resence on the roads in recent seasons, with Tim Reeves and Dan Sayle giving Robin Croft's team a coveted TT victory in the Sidecar class last June when the pair won the opening race.
Michael Rutter has also delivered two wins 🧜for SMT Racing at the Macau Grand Prix in 2012 and 2013.
The team has also had a strong presence on the short ci🐷rcuits for many years, running regularly inside the top ten of the British Superbike Ch♚ampionship and more recently contesting the National Superstock 1000cc Championship with Adam Jenkinson, narrowly missing out on the 2013 title by three points.
Swedish rider Filip B🉐acklund will spearhead SMT Racing's short circuit challenge for the forthcoming season.
Wilcock Consulting, long time ba𒈔ckers of Stew𒀰art, will again continue with their support of the 38-year-old.
