Third competitor dies in 2022 Isle of Man TT racesReutersThe Isle of Man TT, or Tourist Trophy, races on Monday claimed a third life when Northern Irish rider Davy Morgan was killed in a crash during the first Supersport race of the event. The races around the island off the northwest coast of England have been run since 1907 and are among the most dangerous in motorsport. French sidecar passenger Olivier Lavorel, 35, died on Saturday last week and British Supersport rider Mark Purslow, 29, on Wednesday. There have been 263 fatalities to date in the TT races, Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT held on the island’s public roads. The TT races are being held again after a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the longest break for the event since World War II.
