Fans urged to put racers' loved ones first during TT incidents
It's important to respect the friends and family of those involved in red flag incidents at the TT, rather than speculating on social media.
That's the view of Reverend John Coldwell following the death of French sidecar passenger Olivier Lavorel.
*Update: On 8 June TT organisers confirmed César Chanal was the racer killed in the incident at Ago's Leap blaming mistaken identity. His passenger Olivier Lavorel remains in a critical condition in hospital. You can find more HERE.
Speculation about the incident at Ago's Leap was circulating on social media, hours before an official announcement by TT organisers.
Reverend Coldwell says loved ones have to come first:
