It’s being reported that Australian Josh Brookes will replace John McGuinness in next month’s Supersport TT.

‘Super Mac’ was last week ruled out of the event after an accident at the North West 200 in which he broke four vertebrae, three ribs and fractured his leg.

The 33 year-old will ride for Jackson Racing team, according to online reports.

Brookes has also signed a last minute deal to compete in the Bennetts Lightweight TT for Kawasaki.
