A tribute has been paid to sidecar passenger, Olivier Lavorel, after he died from the injuries sustained at the TT four months ago.

The 35-year-old and his fellow Frenchman and driver Cesar Chanal crashed at Ago’s Leap during the first sidecar race on June 4. 

33-year-old Chanal died at the scene.

The official Sidecar TT media partner 3 Wheeling said Lavorel was a "brave" man.

A spokesman added: "He joins his great friend and driver Cesar Chanel who didn’t survive the accident. 

"We send our thoughts and condolences to both families."
