I thought he was meant to have retired after the Ulster, but note that he was riding at Macau, has he changed his mind?

No, he's definitely retired....or he'll have to give back the special award he got at the KDMC a couple of weeks ago.
I think the Macau was just a last fling!

From what I've heard he was always going to do Macau as his final fling, but is now definitely retired. Rumour has it that he may do some media and TV work, possibly alongside his old sparring partner Phillip McCallen. Those two are always good value - that WILL be something to look forward to !

Hey , there could be some sparks flying then-- McCallen & Duffus commentating!!!! , seriously , I think Iain will be good at this type of job , McCallen is ok , but i dont think he will ever be a Fred Clarke or Murray Walker!, Good Luck to Iain on his retirement, he has been a good all rounder , and a good supporter of Irish Road Racing.

Only problem with those two commentating is that the whole of the ENGLISH speaking world will hardly be able to understand a word they say ;-)

You gotta bloody good point there Russ!!

Never mind, the Scots, the Irish, the Welsh and the Manx will...

oh yes helen. self, self self ;-]
ade!

Just imagine how difficult it is for us 'down under'. I always found it difficult to understand Phillip but it was easier than to try and understand darling Joey.

Oh, go on, Ade, you do the commentary,lad!It might not make sense, but I'm sure we'll understand!!

i'd rather listen to mac and iain all day than fred clarke for ten minutes. being at least an eighth celtic, i don't have a problem with accents ;-]
ade!

Macau was definately Iain's last competitive outing. His win at the Ulster was a fitting way for him to finish his career here, but going on holiday to the Far East he was as well to combine that with a final "overseas" ride.

If he can contribute to the commentary as he has to the racing then we should be in for a treat.

My son was talking to Ian at the Macau riders party and Ian said that it was his last race.
