I was marshalling the Senior TT race (for the very first time) when it came in over the radio. There's an inquest going on to find out what exactly happened and whether it was avoidable. Very sad nonetheless. That makes 4 dead altogether (3 racers, 1 marshall). There were some pretty bad accidents that you probably won't hear about on the island involving visitors - 40 altogether according to the Manx constabularly.
