Another great day’s racing this year that somehow managed to see a full race schedule run following a huge red flag incident in Race 4.  Most importantly all riders involved in incidents are on the mend and I would like to wish every one a fast and full recovery.

Full and detailed results are posted below…

Colas Post-TT Races : Billown : 8th June 2019 Results

2019 Colas Post-TT Races

The traditional end to the TT Festival takes us back down to the south of the Isle of Man to the Billown Course for some multi-start road racing.

Thankfully the weather held out long enough to get through the Practice Sessions and line up another great evening of racing.

It is no secret I am a big fan of the Pre and Post TT Races, honestly – factor them into your trip to the TT – it is a great course, with great racing.  It’s a great way to relax and wind down after the hectic pace of the TT – although the bikes still keep the pace up!

2019 Isle of Man TT Senior Race Day : 07/06/2019 : Results

After an epic 5 races yesterday the Clerk of the Course made another well informed decision to start things off early. With a ‘Yellow Warning’ for rain over the Isle of Man in force for the afternoon of 7th June 2019 a call was made to start things off early. The plan was put in place for a 10:00am start with the intention of running a full six lap Senior TT.

With the mandatory delay – only a wee one though – things got underway at 10:15am.

For the duration of the race I was live tweeting – if you fancy reading through things as they unfolded just look for the Hashtag #2019SeniorTTLIVE

2019 Isle of Man TT Race Day 2 : 06/06/2019 : Results

With – you guessed it – the weather continuing to play havoc with every plan the Clerk of the Course could lay out it really did come down to one last roll of the dice and that was Thursday 6th June 2019. The forecast was looking positive and as long as the roads would dry out over night then there was the potential for a full day of racing and a couple of necessary qualifying sessions.

The plan had to be ambitious, but I think it would be fair to say that everyone was shocked when Gary Thompson came up with this idea :

A statement issued on behalf of ACU Events Ltd : Daley Mathison : 03/06/2019

Rest in peace Daley Mathison. Ride free.

Daley was an experienced competitor and was seeded 19th for today’s race.  He made his Mountain Course debut in the 2013 Manx Grand Prix Newcomers A Race, finishing fifth.  His TT career included three consecutive podiums in the TT Zero electric bike Race in 2016, 2017 and 2018 including the runner up position in the race last year, representing Nottingham University.

ACU Events Ltd regrets to confirm that Daley Mathison, 27, from Stockton on Tees, Durham was killed in an incident during the Superbike Race today at the Isle of Man TT Races.  The accident occurred at Snugborough, just over 2 miles into the Course, on the 3rd lap of the race.

He also achieved an 11th place finish in last year’s Superstock Race and a pair of 13th place finishes in the 2017 and 2018 Senior TT Races.

He set his fastest lap of the Mountain Course – 128.054mph – in the 2018 Superstock race which made him the 34th fastest rider of all time. He set the second fastest TT Zero lap ever with lap of 119.294mph in the 2018 race.

In total he started 19 TT Races with 14 finishes and 3 podiums and won 6 silver and 8 bronze replicas

ACU Events Ltd wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Daley’s wife Natalie, his family and friends.

Daley’s wife Natalie posted the following message on Daley’s twitter feed :
