A first-time Isle of Man TT podium finisher has been stripped of his podium days later in remarkable circumstances
First-time Isle of Man TT podium finisher Michael Evans was stripped of his second place in the opening Supertwin TT after his team failed to present the bike for technical scrutineering following the second supertwin race on Friday. An issue with the bike’s engine was discovered after the first race, but the engine was sealed for inspection rather than stripped, as is standard procedure for podium finishers. However, Evans broke down during the second race and the bike was not returned for the follow-up check, leading to disqualification. This decision promoted Hodson to second place and Paul Jordan to third, ensuing his second TT top-three finish.
