Lee Johnston has broken his leg,♈ so is a doubt to competeꦍ at the 2024 North West 200.

Johnston suffered t🦋he injury three weeks ago while testing in Cartagena, Spain but has only confirmed it now.

It threatens his parti🍃cipation at the North West 200 in May. He had hoped to return to the e𓆉vent where, last year, he was involved in a horrific crash.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Johnston said: "I broke my right tibula and fibula𓄧 li꧂terally in the first session.

"It could have been worse and in a faster corner.

"It wasn't a mechanical is🐟sue. Jus🦋t a part broke, so it was nobody's fault involved with the bike.

"I neꦕeded to ride a bike💯, and that track day was my only option, at the time."

Johnston was testing alone ൲in Spain when he crashed.

He♍ wa✃s hospitalised but signed himself out of the local hospital. He returned to England where he has undergone two operations.

Johnston will no longer comp⭕ete at this week's 🐼Daytona 200, as he had planned to do.
