Road Racing News, 2022 Road Racing Newcomer of The Year award goes to, drum roll, Irish Road Race Junior Support Champion Jonathan Watt.
One can’t but praise Watt’s exploits throughout his first full season of Irish road racing.
At a glance, standout moments alongside above showcased Championship success have included:
• Ulster Road Race Junior Support Champion
• Super Twins runner-up at Walderstown ‘Race of The South’
• Top newcomer within the Duke Road Race Rankings
• Irish Road Race Super Twins Championship runner-up
• Third within the Irish Road Race Lightweight Supersport Championship
• Rostrum finish at Tandragee
Hoping to make his Munster 100, North West 200 debuts next year, Watt is certain to be one to watch in 2023.
Just like his Uncle, three times top five Manx GP finisher Kenny McCrea, he gives it his all in-pursuit of enjoying the pure road racing dream as much as possible.
