2009 TT champion Steve Plater has announced his retirement from road racing.

The 39 year old said it was a tough decision, but he doesn't want to drop down the timesheets.

Plater missed this year's TT after breaking a bone in his neck at the North West 200 just weeks before.

Next year he'll compete in the World Endurance Championship.
