Disqualification at the Supertwin TT 2025: Michael Evans loses position

There was a disqualification in Supertwin Race 1 as part of the Tourist Trophy 2025 on the Isle of Man. Michael Evans, who was on the grid with start number 5 for the Dafabet Racing team, was removed from the classification. The reason for this is an infringement of the technical regulations following the race.

Technical inspection not completed

As the organizer ACU Events Ltd announced in an official statement on 7 June 2025, Michael Evans’ team was unable to provide the bike in time for the prescribed technical inspection.

After the first Supertwin race on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, initial checks were carried out by the Technical Director and other race officials. The bike’s engine was sealed in order to carry out a further investigation after the second Supertwin race on Friday, June 6, 2025.

Missing engine leads to disqualification

This investigation should have included a full technical inspection following Supertwin TT Race 2. However, Dafabet Racing was unable to present the machine for inspection within the prescribed timeframe. Due to this infringement, Michael Evans was retroactively removed from the classification of the first race.
