2019 Walderstown Road Races : Statement re Darren Keys 14/07/2019


Statement from AMRCC:

The Directors, Management and Club Members of the Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club are devastated to hear about the death of Darren Keys after he was involved in an incident in today’s Senior Support Race at Walderstown.

After making his road racing debut in Armoy back in 2016, Darren was really making a name for himself on the Irish National scene. A proper gentleman both on and off the bike. He was loved by everyone in the paddock – felllow riders, officals and fans alike. A bright talent taken much too soon and he will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Darren’s wife Justine, daughter Molly, son Charlie, family, friends and the team at this very sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

RIP #94

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.

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
