Lee Johnston has broken h⛦is leg, so is a doubt to compete at the 2024 North West 200.

Johꦜnston suffered the injury three weeks ago while testing in Cartagena, Spain but has only🦂 confirmed it now.

It threatens his participation at the North West 200 in May. He had hoped to re🐲turn to the event where, last year, he was involved in a horrific crash.

Speak🃏ing on his YouTube channel, Johnston said: "I broke my right tibula and fibula literally in the fi🧜rst session.

"It could have been worse and in a faster corner.

"It wasn'ꦗt a mechanical issue. Just a part broke, so it was nobody's fault involved with the b🙈ike.

"I needed to ride a bike, and that track💧 day was my only option, at the time."

Johnston was testing alone in Spain when ಌhe cra⛄shed.

He was hospitalised but signed himself out of the local hospital. He returned to England where🍎 he has unde𒐪rgone two operations.

Johnston will no lon🥀ger compete at this week's Daytona 200, as he had plan🥀ned to do.
