It's reported in today's Manx Independent that top sidecar passenger Darren Hope, who has won 3 TTs with Nick Crowe, has quit racing with immediate effect. He is quoted as saying he wants to do other things with his life and to spend more time with his family which is about to increase in a few weeks time. Good luck Darren.

That's a big loss to racing. Hope Nicky finds a new person quickly to get them broken in!
Best wishes to Darren and family.

Looks like you be getting those leathers out again Helen !
