Mike Browne joins TikTok TT’s 2026 debut with Melbray/Laycock Team Paton

Mike Browne will take part in the Isle of Man TT’s first-ever TikTok TT race in 2026. The experienced rider joins forces with the newly formed Melbray/Laycock Team Paton. His recent successes and past performances suggest a strong challenge ahead.

Browne has a proven record at the TikTok. In 2023, he led the Supertwin race by 18 seconds before a mechanical failure forced him out. That same year, he secured second place on the Paton, showing his speed and consistency.

Browne’s return to the Paton and his recent victories set high expectations for 2026. The Melbray/Laycock team’s combined resources and Laycock’s expertise could make them a serious contender. The new first watch TT race will be their first major test together.
