The Southern 100 Club have announced via a Facebook post that the 2022 Post TT Races have been cancelled.
This is really unfortunate news as the Post TT Races are a superb event and give many riders who may not have competed on the TT Mountain Course a chance to wind up their TT Festival with a multi start competitive day of road racing.
DAO Post TT Road Races 2022 :
It is with regret that Southern 100 Racing, organisers of the DAO Post TT Road Races have to announce that this year’s races due to be held on Saturday 11th June, have been cancelled.
With the Senior TT having been postponed from Friday 10th June to Saturday 11th June, commencing at 11.00am, many of the officials, marshals and other personnel involved with the DAO Post TT are also required for duty on the Mountain Course and may not be available later for the Billown Course.
Southern 100 Racing have looked at the possibility of running later in the day, unfortunately the road closing order makes it impractical and with no guarantee that we would have full medical or marshal cover, the only decision that could be taken is to cancel the event for 2022.
We are extremely disappointed that the DAO Post TT Road Races will not be run and apologise to all competitors, especially those who have made the journey to the Island for the races and to all the race fans who look forward to a day out at Billown to bring the TT Experience to a close.
Southern 100 Racing look forward to seeing you at Billown in July for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.

It is with deep sense of sorrow that the Isle of Man TT Races can announce the loss of Roger and Bradley Stockton following an incident on the final lap of the second Sidecar Race of the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races.
Roger and Bradley were father and son, and driver and passenger respectively.
We extend our deepest sympathy to their families, loved ones and friends.
Aged 56, today marked Roger’s 20th race start in his 11th TT appearance. Bradley, aged 21, was competing in his second race at his first TT. Racing together, they recorded an impressive 8th-place finish in the first Sidecar Race of TT 2022, with a best lap at an average speed of 106.00mph.
Whilst it was Bradley’s first TT as a competitor, it was by no means his first experience of the TT, having grown up in the paddock and made his first visit as a one-year old. Aged 16, he decided that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and asked if he could race alongside him as his passenger. Once he had returned to the Isle of Man to begin studying the course, he said ‘he couldn’t wait to race in the TT‘.
Roger’s first TT was in 2000. He competed regularly until 2008 and returned in 2010, 2017, and for this year’s event. Speaking earlier in the year, he said: ‘I’ve retired a few times before, but always come back for my love of the sport. Going around the course with my own flesh and blood will be incredible.’
The loss of two members of our paddock and two people from the same family is truly heart-breaking, but the bond between a father and son who achieved their dream to compete together at the TT provides us with a glimmer of light at such a dark time.
STATEMENT ISSUED AT 18:30 ON 10 JUNE 2022 10th JUNE 2022 STATEMENT ISSUED FROM THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES
With a deep sense of sorrow, the Isle of Man TT Races can confirm that Roger Stockton, 56, and Bradley Stockton, 21, from Crewe, Cheshire were both killed in an incident on the second and final lap of the second Sidecar Race of the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races. The incident occurred at Ago’s Leap, just under one mile into the lap.
Roger and Bradley were father and son, and driver and passenger respectively.
Roger was an experienced TT competitor, with today’s race marking his 20th TT race start. He competed at the TT regularly from 2000 to 2008, before then returning in 2010, 2017 and at this year’s event. In his career, he claimed a total of twelve top-20 finishes and four top-10 finishes, as well as 10 Bronze Replicas.
Bradley was a newcomer to the TT and finished his first TT race on Monday, securing an impressive 8th-place finish alongside his father.
2022 was their fifth season racing together, and Roger and Bradley were regular podium finishers and frontrunners in the British F2 Sidecar Cup Championship, finishing second in the championship in 2021.
The Isle of Man TT Races pass on their deepest sympathy to Roger and Bradley’s families, loved ones, and friends.
It is with a heavy heart that the Isle of Man TT Races can confirm the loss of Davy Morgan following an incident on the final lap of the first Supersport Race of the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races.
We extend our deepest sympathy to Davy’s partner Trudy, his family, loved ones, and friends.
Davy was a stalwart of the TT paddock, with 2022 marking 20 years since he first competed in the Isle of Man TT Races. Today’s Supersport Race was his 80th TT race start.
His distinctive pink helmet was a regular and recognisable sight within road racing, having competed in hundreds of races across the Manx Grand Prix, Classic TT, Southern 100, North West 200, Ulster Grand Prix, Macau Grand Prix, Oliver’s Mount, and Irish national races, with numerous podiums and race victories along the way.
Aged 52, Davy had contemplated walking away from the sport in recent years, but the COVID-enforced break had shown him what a life without racing would be like.
Speaking in 2020, he said, ‘being away from racing has given me the chance to reflect on what motorbike racing means to me, so I’ve no desire to retire from the sport for a while yet, and it’s been a big part of my life for 27 years now’.
‘I’ve had the opportunity to see what it would be like without motorbikes, and I’m glad I had that because if I’d decided that I was finished, I’d have been kicking myself!’
Davy was well-respected and highly-experienced competitor. As a result, his peers looked up to him, learned from him, and loved to race with him. He will be sorely missed.

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery to Olivier Lavorel.
Isle of Man TT : Olivier Lavorel & César Chanal
STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES
On Saturday 4th June during the opening lap of the first Sidecar Race of the 2022 Isle of Man TT Races, an accident at Ago’s Leap involving outfit number 21 of César Chanal and Olivier Lavorel resulted in the death of one of the competitors.
The race was stopped with the deployment of full-course red flags, and medical personnel, a Travelling Marshal, and the emergency services were immediately dispatched to the scene.
One of the competitors sustained injuries that would not support life and was sadly declared dead at the scene. The second competitor was unconscious with severe injuries.
The injured competitor was treated at the roadside before being transferred to Noble’s Hospital, and then airlifted to a specialist hospital in Liverpool to receive treatment.
An initial identification procedure was conducted using established procedures and would appear to have resulted in a mistaken identification.
We now believe it was César Chanal who died at the scene of the accident on Saturday 4th June. Olivier remains in a critical condition and continues to receive treatment.
Both competitors’ families have been informed.
A thorough review of the processes relating to the identification of competitors will take place in due course.
Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of both Olivier and César at this truly devastating time.
