where to race and when to do it. The roads are<br />
still the centre of attention but a full-time British<br />
Supersport season means that suddenly<br />
Johnston is busier than ever. Suddenly he’s<br />
feeling ready for a TT more then he can remember<br />
for a long time. Suddenly he’s a real<br />
contender once again.<br />
“I’m not going to lie, it was hard going back<br />
to short circuits for this year. There’s a different<br />
way of riding. You’re on maximum attack<br />
all the time. You ride differently to the roads.<br />
At the TT we’re giving it everything we have<br />
but you do it in a different way. In short circuit<br />
racing you’re rubbing and bumping but on the<br />
roads you can’t ride like that. I’m enjoying the<br />
short circuit races though because it makes<br />
you sharper and fitter for the roads. I’ve been<br />
able to do a lot of laps at the <strong>No</strong>rthwest 200<br />
and not feel tired. I feel great.”
