Chief Sector Marshal removed following social media comments

Tue, 25 Jan 2022

A Chief Sector Marshal has been removed from his role following critical comments made on social media.

Race organisers said the individual’s position as an Official of the races was untenable

The TTMA held an emergency Board of Directors meeting to discuss the issue.

In a statement, ACU Events Ltd, race organiser of the TT Races and Manx Grand Prix, and the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association said: "The individual concerned was given the opportunity to withdraw the comments but declined.  The same individual had already been in dispute with the race organisation about the new Safety Management System, introduced to ensure the maximum possible level of safety for competitors and individuals officiating on the TT Mountain Course. It is also considered unacceptable for any individual to undermine such a critical initiative."
