Franck Petricola

Isle of Man TT Races Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson has paid tribute to Franck Petricola who was killed in an incident at Sulby Crossroads during last night’s TT Superbike qualifying session.

He said: 

"Franck showed incredible character to battle back from the serious injuries he suffered at the North West 200 last year when many a lesser man would have given up the challenge but it showed his determination to compete on the mountain course.  The road racing community has lost a remarkable man and I extend my deepest sympathy to his family and friends."
