A further contract was awarded to Yamaha UK to provide motor-cycles and support for the Isle of Man TT Travelling Marshals.[60] The former British Superbike competitor Sean Emmett withdrew from the 2008 Isle of Man TT races after general comments made by Coroner Michael Moyle encouraging potential competitors to consider carefully their position.
