Paul Jordan has been awarded third place in the Supertwin TT Race 1 after Michael Evans was disqualified due to a technical infringement.
Evans, riding for Dafabet Racing, was excluded after his team failed to present the bike for mandatory post-race inspection.
TT officials stated: “Michael Evans has been disqualified from the Supertwin TT Race 1 after the team failed to produce the machine for the mandatory post-race Technical Inspection.”
Initial checks were conducted on Tuesday June 3, with further examination scheduled after Race 2. Officials confirmed: “The Team were unable to produce the machine for the Technical Inspection within the required timeframe.”
Jordan expressed mixed emotions, saying: “I’m happy that this has been rectified but I’m gutted that I was robbed of the chance to celebrate with my team in the winners enclosure and receive my correct podium place.
“I’m disappointed this opportunity was taken away from me, the team, my sponsors, family and friends all due to a team not complying with rules & regulations.
He added: “I would like to thank everyone involved and feel sorry for Michael Evans having his TT result taken away from him due to no fault of his own.”
