Norton Motorcycles has confirmed that Cameron Donald will contest the 2014 Isle of Man TT Races, fuelled by Monster Energy, with the Australian ace lining up in the Dainese Superbike and PokerStars Senior TT Races for the British manufacturer.
Cameron will start both races from the number 19 position, made famous by the late Steve Hislop who took Norton’s last TT victory in the 1992 Senior Race.
He has an impressive tally of ten podiums, his most recent in last year’s Superbike Race when he came second behind Michael Dunlop. With a fastest lap of 130.729mph, Donald is also the eighth fastest rider ever to have lapped the 37 and ¾-mile course.
Having made an unsuccessful return to the TT in 2009 with Michael Dunlop, Norton bounced back in 2012 with Ian Mackman on board its all-new machine, although the Senior Race cancellation put paid to any hopes of a competitive finish. Norton came back stronger last year with a two-man team comprising Mackman and Daniel Hegarty and the duo lapped at 122.277mph and 122.290mph respectively, with Mackman claiming the best result of the fortnight with 18th in the Superbike Race.
Over the winter, Norton worked with Mick Grant and Steve Plater on bike development.
