Although recovering well from illness and being back on the pace for his MGP Lightweight class, the Rowe Racing Team regrets to announce that Royce has unfortunately had another incident on the Isle of Man in the MGP Junior/Senior practice session overnight.
Heading out on the Triumph, Royce came off on his first lap at Alpine, a very fast, sweeping right-hand corner.
He’s broken his left tibia, the ball joint of his right hip (subsequently breaking his pelvis) and all the ribs on his right-hand side – which has caused his right lung to collapse. There is also a break to his wrist, and a number of lacerations and abrasions to his body.
If anything can be considered lucky out of the incident, he did retain consciousness throughout and has no brain or spinal injuries.
He wasn’t able to talk much as he was in severe shock and heavily sedated by the time the team reached him. He was first treated at Nobles (local Isle of Man hospital) where the staff were fantastic – we can’t thank them enough. However, to be safe and due to the difficulty of treating the hip injury, he has been airlifted to Aintree Hospital in Liverpool. The family will be flying over ASAP.
The support from everyone on The Island has been great and we thank everyone for their well wishes through this trying time. We’ll provide more info as it comes to hand.

So sorry to hear this news. I and some friends had an enjoyable chat to some of the “Team” at the Mines Pub in Laxey on Sunday 24th, trying to lift their spirits after the surprise England test win. Enough of that, Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Royce. The offer of free accommodation and the use of a garage or two for next years TT is still there if needed. Best wishes. Dirk.

Not the story we wanted to hear. Keep your spirits up Royce (not the vodka kind) and hope for a quick recovery mate. We all know how hard you have worked the past 2 years to get back to this point.
Also, thoughts with Rowe Racing Team who also have worked so hard to get Royce back to achieving his goals. In particular Les, Deb, Beth, Leonard,Locky & Brian (BJR Products). Sure there is more.
See you all back in Australia.

We were devastated to hear about his accident but glad it wasn’t any worse. At least he will make a full recovery.
Hopefully it won’t be too long before he is able to travel back to some sunshine at home.
