By Initially classified second in Tuesday evening’s, Metzeler Super Twins race, Dafabet Racing’s Michael Evans, has now been omitted from the final race results sheet.
Reasons why, are detailed via a statement from main, TT Races organisers, ACU Events Ltd:
“Initial checks were undertaken by the event’s Technical Director, Technical Officers, and Technical Officials at the conclusion of the race on Tuesday 3 June.
As part of this process, the engine was sealed and subject to further mandatory examination at the conclusion of the Supertwin TT Race 2 on Friday 6 June.
The Team was unable to produce the machine for the Technical Inspection within the required timeframe. Therefore, the competitor has been disqualified from the race result.
Revised results for the Supertwin TT Race 1 will be issued in due course.”
Dafabet Racing, reacted to the news via social media, issuing the following words:
“We accept the decision of the TT Race Organisation for what we can only describe as a mistake and oversight by the team in our preparations for the Supertwin Race.
We wish to apologise to the Race Organisers, the fans, our fellow competitors, our sponsors, and – above else – to Michael for this error, for which the team take full responsibility, and we thank him for his professionalism through this process and throughout TT 2025.”
