Craig Neve has become the latest rider to confirm his plans for the 2024 Isle of Man TT and North West 200 after extending his partnership with the Bathams Racing team.

Neve joined forces with the outfit - best-known for running Michael Rutter in key events - in 2023 and achieved career-best results on both the NW200 and TT, powering to his first lap in excess of 130mph in the latter.

For 2024, Neve will stick with this formula by riding the Bathams Racing Honda CBR1000RR-R in the Superbike and Superstock classes of both the TT and the North West 200, before switching to Triumph STR765 RS machinery in the Supersport class.

“Joining Bathams Racing last year was fantastic for me. Having Rutter as your team mate was priceless when it came to working through what were brand new bikes at the time to get to a set up which helped me get into the “130mph club”. 

”I’ve already had him on the bike this winter testing in Spain to try some more ideas out, and his feedback and input has been brilliant. 

“Last year was difficult at times with the new bike, but it ended on a real high with a couple of 130mph laps, and my first top ten finish at the TT, so sticking with Bathams Racing is a no brainer for me. 

“A massive thanks to them, Bathams Ales and Zeeco for having me back. I’m absolutely buzzing and can’t wait to get going.

“I’m gonna do the first couple of rounds of the British Supersport championship, then get to Ireland and the Isle of Man to hopefully pick up where we left off last year.”
