“As my team and I return home from what has been a successful first Isle of Man TT for FHO Racing, we are all only too aware that not everyone who travelled out to the island this year is making the return journey with us.

“For all the joy road racing offers, we can never forget nor lose sight of the dangers it also brings, something we have tragically been reminded of too many times over the last two weeks.

“During this event we have sadly lost five members of our close-knit racing family, something which has cast a dark shadow over this event for everyone involved.

“On behalf of myself and everyone at FHO Racing, I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to the friends, family and loved ones of Mark Purslow, Cesar Chanal, Davy Morgan and Roger and Bradley Stockton.”
