Fiona Baker-Milligan has regained the Susan Jenness Trophy she last held in
2011. The trophy is awarded in recognition of the most meritorious performance
by a female competitor as adjudged by the Executive Committee of the TT
Supporter’s Club.
At the 2015 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy, as partner to her
dad, Tony, Fiona took home two Bronze Replicas for finishing 11th and 10th in
Sure Sidecar Races 1 and 2 respectively. This included a lap of 109.321mph in
the opening race, the fastest ever by a female sidecar passenger. Taking this honour from Sally Wilson, she is the worthy winner of the trophy presented annually in memory of Susan Jenness who tragically lost her life some years ago whilst marshalling an off-road motorcycle event in the UK. Coincidentally, Fiona was 11th in both races when she last held the trophy, which she was also awarded in 2005.
It was a double celebration for the family crew as Tony was this year’s recipient of the Frank Cope Trophy awarded for the most meritorious performance with respect to the competitor’s age. Tony’s sidecar TT career began in 1985, having competed in one MGP meeting, 1972, as a solo competitor.
Fiona will be presented with the Susan Jenness Trophy at next year’s TT.
