Inquest into TT rider's death to reconvene

The inquest into the death of a popular TT racer will reconvene today. 

Coroner of Inquests John Needham will oversee Paul Shoesmith's inquest at Douglas Courthouse from 2pm. 

The 50-year-old suffered multiple injuries after a crash in a practice session on the Sulby Straight on June 4th last year. 

Earlier that day the Stockport man had recorded his best ever lap of the Mountain Course in the Superbike race.

Shoesmith also ran the Ice Valley Four Angels racing outfit which provided opportunities for a number of riders to race on the famous Mountain Course.
