Three-time TT winner from its Grand Prix age
Three-time TT winner Luigi Taveri has passed away - he was 88 years old.
The Swiss competitor was also a three-time 125cc world champion.
Taveri made his TT debut in 1955 and competed in 22 races.
He finished 16 times - 12 resulted in trips to the podium.
David Cretney MLC, a man who has himself raced on the Mountain Course, says Taveri was one of his heroes growing up:
