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.”
