The funeral of Paul Dobbs, the popular New Zealand rider killed during Thursday’s TT Supersport race, will take place in the Isle of Man next week.
Dobbs, a regular competitor in the Isle of Man, died from injuries received when he came off his machine at Ballagarey.
His wife Bridget has paid a moving tribute to her late husband saying he died doing what he most loved, in a place he felt at home and surrounded by people he admired.
It was read out by Charlie Lambert before Saturday night’s Post-TT races at Billown in which Dobbs had been due to compete.
