Two-time Isle of Man TT winner Cameron Donald will ride Norton’s new SG3 at this year’s festival.

The 36-year-old has signed a three-year deal with the Donington Park-based factory and will ride in the Pokerstars Senior TT and Dainese Superbike TT on the machine which has Steve Plater as a test rider. It is still Aprilia powered (so it's an Apron) but apparently has many new parts.

After three years with Wilson Craig Racing, there has been much speculation about Donald’s future since last year’s TT. However, while the change in teams will see his career take a different direction, it signals his intention to continue racing at the highest level and also his passion for competing on the Mountain Course.

"When Norton began talking to me about their plans for TT 2014 I knew it was an opportunity I didn't want to miss. With the enthusiasm and experience of the Norton team behind me and ex TT winners such as Mick Grant and Steve Plater now involved, this is sure to be an exciting year. Norton is synonymous with the Isle of Man TT and I can't wait to ride the new SG3 round the Mountain Course and add to their Isle of Man history," said Donald.
