McGee recovering at Noble's Hospital on Isle of Man

Derek McGee had an accident during supertwin practice on the Ryan Farquar bike at the IoM TT this week, and says his TT is over for this year.

We are hoping to get chatting to him in the coming days, but he has posted this message on Twitter:

“Greetings from Noble’s IOM. Thankfully on the mend. Appreciate all the messages.

“I’m disappointed that my TT is over for 2019.

“The @ryanfarquhar77 twin was flying and we’d have been in with the shout of a good result.

“Apologies for the state of the bike.

“We’ll be back soon.

“Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone.”

Earlier he posted: “So down at Greeba yesterday after losing the front.

“A few broken bones but nothing serious.

“Thanks to @DomHerbertson for stopping and to all the medics at the scene and later in Noble’s hospital.

“Glad to be using good gear @WhyArai @rst_motodirect.”
