UPDATE: Isle of Man TT Lightweight winner Ian Lintin will make ꦯhis debut at Macau on the RC Express Kawasaki after filling the void left by th♚e absence of Guy Martin. On Wednesday night, the RC Express Racing team confirmed Lintin had taken the opportunity for his maiden trip to the event 'due to the withdrawal of a rider'.

The 𒐪organisers of the Macau Grand Prix have confirmed that Guy Martin was a late withdrawal from the event on Wednesday mo𝓰rning.

The 🐽Lincolnshire star was entered on the Tyco BMW for the famous race in the Far East, but has pulled out as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a heavy spill at the Ulster Grand Prix in August.

Martin's plans for 2016 have been the subject of much scrutiny this season, but the 33-year💯-old was confirmed on the entry list for the No☂rthern Ireland team at Macau for the final big road race of the year.

In the past, ❀Martin has not enjoyed the best of luck at Macau, sliding into a co𝕴ncrete wall and suffering concussion and a broken wrist in 2007.

The followiﷺng year, he was ruled out again after being knocked unꦅconscious after another fall at the Guia street course.

The Macau line-up includes a host of top names including last year's wi👍nner Stuart Easton, plus John McGuinness, Michael Rutter, Lee Johnston, Ian Hutchinson, Gary Johnson and Peter Hickman.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Martin's Tyco BMW team-mate William Dunlop had parted company with the Ulster team in an 'amicable' split with the 30♚-year-old set to ꦏjoin CD Racing in 2016.

Dunlop rode ෴a Yamaha R6 at the inteওrnational and Irish road race meetings this season for team owner Dowd in a separate agreement to his Tyco BMW deal.
