🦹Joey Thompson will switch teams for this year’s Isle of Man TT.

He wi🐈ll line up for the Team Talk of the Town York Suzuki b🃏y Motul Oils squad.

Thompson will ride a Suzuki 🔯GSX-R1000 in the Superbike, Senior and Superstock TT races.

It is the same♔ bike that took Shaun Anﷺderson to eighth in last year’s Senior TT.

However, i♑n the two Supersport TT races, he will ri꧙de his own Seventy Four Racing Yamaha YZF-R6.

Thompson made his Isle of Man TT debut in 2017 when he was stꦫill a teena♛ger.

Last year, he was𒁏 forced to retire from the Superbike TT. He then set a personal best lap time (125.415mph) as he finished 23rd in the Superstock Senior TT.

“I’m delighted to have joined Team York Suzuki and am really looking f🎀orward to riding their Suzuki GSX-R10𒉰00 at this year’s TT,” Thompson said.

“My 125mph+ lap at last year’s TT came after I overshot a⛎t Parliament Squ꧃are, so had it not been for losing that time, I would have been a fair bit quicker.

“I don♛’t like putting numbers on it, but I’d like to add a couple of mph to my speeds and if we can get into the 127mph bracket𝓰, I’ll be happy.”

Kev Pearson, Team Owner, said: "We’re very excited to have signed Joey for the 2025 Isle of Man TT Races and ev๊er since the inception of the Team York Suzuki brand, it was centred around York and Yorkshire – the only thing missing was a local rider!

“There’s never been a rider of the level required, but with Joey we now have our man. He’s very accomplished, very focused, experienced and with r﷽esults to boot.

“We’re overjoyed to be part of his continued journey; our sponsors 🍨are keen to 🔜be involved, and we can't wait to get there.”
