HOW DID THEY GO?
Aussies at the 2015 IomTT

A bag of mixed results for the three Aussies who tackled the Isle of Man TT this year. The best was Dave Johnson who bagged a 10th in the Super bike race, an 11th and 10th in the two Supersport races, an awesome 6th in the Super stock race and a 9th place in the prestigious Senior TT.

Popular Cam Donald on the Norton finished 18th in the Super bike race but didn’t finish in the Senior TT.

Cam was also riding for Padgetts Honda in the two Supersport races, scoring 13th in both.

Alex Pickett had the worst luck ever, right from the word go at his team’s own private practice until his exit in the Superstock race, where his bike was playing up resulting in a crash.

Alex got a helicopter ride to Nobles Hospital, which he can’t remember, saying to Stuart, “One minute the bike was playing up, the next I woke up in hospital. I got a helicopter ride and can’t remember it, I’m spewing!”

At least he hasn’t lost his sense of humour. Good luck to all next year.
