Michael Evans is hopꦫing a change of scenery can inspire an Isle of Man TT victory this year.

Evans✨ dreams of becoming just the fouℱrth Manxman to win a TT race.

He has joined Dafabet Racing for 2025, joining fo🧸rces for the 1000cc and Supertwin classes.

Evans will also jump on a Honda Fireblade for the Superbike class, and🌌 ride a Kawasaki in the Supertwin class.

“I’m excited to seಞe h♉ow I can progress with the Honda. It will be tricky because it’s a new bike for both parties,” Evans told Manx Radio.

“It will take time. These things always do. It’s an ♒evolution - if you miss something, you learn 🌱it the year after.

“I had the same with my own bike. It took two years to 🌄get it into a position where you know how it works, with a good base setup.”

Evans said about his ch🍒ange of scenery into Dafabet Racing: “It’s a good th♓ing, I need to remember that. I want to forget about being a mechanic because I’m not a very good one!

“Just worry about the riding, be 𓆉ready. There are others in that situation. It will be nice to just worry about myself.

“I want to improve. People like John McGuinness have been here f🐼or so long but he’s imp𒈔roving.

“Last year was his fastest-ever six laps. People say he’s past it? I ♏don’t see♍ why.

“Peter Hickman, Davey Tod🔯🌼d, go really, really fast! But it’s experience and improving.

“I want to win every race. Whether it’s real🐽istic or not, I want to win a TT.

“I won at theಞ Manx so I know what it feels like. I’m addicted to that feeling.”

Evans won 🐟the 2017 Junior and Senior Manx Grand Prix.

He has been inside t✱🐟he top 20 of a TT race on 12 occasions.

Evans’ best result at the TT so far i😼s seventh in the 2023 Supertwin Race 2.

Last year, he set his personal fastest lap (averaging 128.232mph𒊎) in the 1000cc class.
