2022 Isle of Man TT | Davy Morgan dies after Supersport TT crash

Morgan, 52 from Saintfield in Northern Ireland was involved in an accident on the third and final lap of the first of two Supersport races.

The incident occurred at the 27th Milestone, after many of the leading riders had come back to the Grandstand to complete the race, which was won by Michael Dunlop.

With the race red flagged for the remaining competitors still on course, Morgan’s death was announced following the completion of action on the Mountain Course today.

An immensely experienced TT racer, competing in every TT held since his debut back in 2002. It meant that the first Supersport race of the week marked his 80th TT start.

His TT career included a best result of fifth place in the 2008 Lightweight TT, while he was also a very notable seventh place finisher in the 2006 Senior TT. 

During his career he had amassed 25 top twenty results, with performances that earned him 14 Silver Replicas and 30 Bronze Replicas. His best lap around the TT Mountain Course was at an average speed of 125.134mph which he set in the 2010 Senior TT.
