Ryan Farquhar’s KMR Kawasaki/SGS International team will have a strong presence on the grid at the TT this year.

Having recently announced his own full return to the 1000cc classes, the Dungannon ace will also be running Lee Johnston, Danny Webb and Connor Behan.

Johnston will line up for the first time on a KMR Kawasaki in the three-lap Lightweight race, having already confirmed his rides for the East Coast Construction team in the other solo races.

Webb enjoyed a solid debut appearance in 2014, taking a best finish of 13th in the Lightweight race on the KMR Kawasaki, and backing this up with a trio of bronze replicas in the 1000cc events where he lapped at close to 121mph.

The former 125cc and Moto 3 GP rider has set his sights on the British Supersport Championship but will once more ride one of Farquhar’s ER6 Kawasakis in the Lightweight TT.

Connor Behan also made an impressive Mountain Course debut last June, finishing an excellent ninth in the Lightweight as well as taking a brace of bronze replicas in the two Supersport races.

Commenting, Farquhar said: ‘Lee has shown his class for a few years now and is ready to make the big breakthrough. We are delighted to have him on one of our 650s for the Lightweight where he will be one of the favourites.

‘Danny is a truly world-class rider and was a joy to work with last year. He showed straight away how talented he is with a very strong TT debut and I am pleased we are able to work together again.

‘Connor has a lot of natural talent and I was very impressed by how well he did at the TT last year. I’m sure he will build on that this time around and will continue to progress further up the leaderboard. At 23 he has a bright future.’
