NON-FINISH FOR STEVE PLATER IN WEDNESDAY’S JUNIOR TT

After taking his debut win in Monday’s first Supersport Junior TT, Plater was looking forward to further success in Wednesday’s event but was denied a finish when he was seen to coast to a halt at the Bungalow on the Mountain section of the course on the first of four laps.

“I don’t know what went wrong,” said Plater. “We haven’t had time to check the bike over as the pit crew are now busy preparing the Superbike for the Senior TT on Friday.

“It’s a shame, but these things happen in racing, especially at the TT which is a very demanding course. At least my teammate Ian Hutchinson made it onto the podium to claim second place for AIM Yamaha. He didn’t finish the Superbike race on Saturday or the first Supersport event on Monday so he will be relieved to get this one under his belt.”

Plater is now preparing for the final race of the week when he and Hutchinson will be contesting the Senior TT for AIM Yamaha on Friday. The high profile race is to be run over six laps of the 37.73-mile course starting at noon.
