said Sweeney.
Sweeney achieved his best result in the Bennetts Lightweight TT Race with an excellent seventh place, after previously finishing 18th in both of the Supersport TT Races. Although he opted out of the Superbike Race, he also finished inside the top twenty in the RL360 Superstock Race before concluding his campaign with a superb 12th place in the Senior TT where he again lapped over 126mph.
Sweeney is established as one of the leading privateers around the Mountain Course since stepping up to the TT in 2014 and he now has 13 top twenty finishes to his name, including three inside the top ten.
His track record confirms him as a consistent performer in the last five years, having finished 23 of the 27 races he has started while his personal best lap around the 37.73-mile circuit is an impressive 126.407mph.
