Its been posted on IOMTT that Paul Ducket has retired from racing at the TT and is to take no further part in this years TT.
The 600 class seems to be losing a few riders this year.

Thats a shame but he'll have his reasons. A VERY under rated rider.

Not only underrated but also one of the most respectful riders out there and he was only mentioned in conversation tonight too.

Stu Robson crashed as Ballaspur several years ago and made a real mess dragging bales into the road.

Paul was one of only four riders who slowed down to the pace where the marshals were totally safe.

Good luck in retirement mate.....if indeed you have

Heard him interviewed on Radio TT. Went out last night and spent most of the lap thinking about his baby daughter. Woke up this am and felt the same.
You can only applaud his honesty and bravery in making his decision. How could anyone race the TT without total commitment.

Paul bumped into Amy Winehouse in London last week and ended up on the beer with her, it turns out her father rode in the MGP many years ago and came 11th. Manx Radio have reported that Amy may be coming to the Island next week to spend a couple of days with Paul.
