British Supersport front-runner Dan Cooper says he still has a lot to learn about riding the Isle of Man TT but is more confident and has again secured the backing of Centurion Racing for the event.

Cooper made his TT debut last year and was among the fastest newcomers before going back to his Supersport day-job. He will use his BSS Triumph for the 600cc races on the Island and switch to a Fireblade for the Supertock and Senior.

"I rode there last year and thought it was brilliant so I couldn't wait for it to come round again. This year should be even better as I have gained more confidence, consistency and speed and have the support of Centurion Racing. The TT circuit is truly awesome, especially the organisation and safety measures that the organisers have established," said Cooper.

"You never stop learning on this circuit no matter how many times you go round. There are more senior, well respected riders out there who have been doing this race for years like John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, Conor Cummins, Michael Dunlop and Guy Martin to mention a few, who are constantly adjusting their styles, techniques and are forever learning the circuit. So basically, I have a lot to learn and a lot of catching up to do but it should be good."
