Hide AdA regular podium finisher at the Irish National road races, Sweeney’s best result at the TT to date is seventh place in the Lightweight race, which he achieved last year. He also finished 18th in both Supersport races and capped race week with a fine 12th place in the Senior finale.
The County Dublin man, who made his TT debut in 2014, said: “I really feel that I am now getting a feel for the TT Course and every year I’ve built and improved on the previous year.
“This is a big year for me and I’m looking to make further progress and improve my lap times and race positions and staying with the same team will help with that.”
