Terrible news, the TT race is awesome to watch and the riders are as brave as anybody in motorsport but the danger is always there due to the incredible speeds and the nature of the course.
Much sympathy to the families of those who died.

Here here. The TT is an amazing race and I'm very sorry that this has happened.

Yes, it's one of those events where death rides along.

RIP.

RIP

Most TT participants will go to Macau for the motorbike race
like jefferies who died in the 2003 TT race

a rider and 6 spectators were hurt in another accident on saturday.

RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Should the authorities banned the TT race?
Or move the event to a permanent race circuit?
I heard the TT race event have casualities every year........
Too risky for both riders and audience...

Nope, it harks back to the days when riders were men. Both riders and spectators know full well the danger involved. It's part of the thrill they experience, and why those who take part keep coming back again and again.

It laughs in the face of the health and safety bores, so it should stay, even if only to wind them up.

"The rider, named by race organisers as Marc Ramsbotham, 34, who was from Wymondham, Norfolk, died instantly."

i live next to wymondham, its 5 mins from where i live sad

Both the riders and most spectators know the risks involved when the TT race is held, it's a 100 year old event that should remain the way it is. Rally racing is not that much safer imo.
