— Isle of Man TT Races (@ttracesofficial) June 10, 2022

Morgan was a regular fixture in racing paddocks across Ireland, the Isle of Man and at the Macau Grand Prix for almost 30 years. He won a 250cc race at the North West 200 in 2005 and had two victories in the same class at the Ulster Grand Prix in 2012 and 2017.

The French sidecar rider César Chanal died on Saturday after an accident at Ago’s Leap, while his passenger, Olivier Lavorel, was airlifted to hospital in Liverpool in a critical condition. The British Supersport rider Mark Purslow, 29, suffered a fatal accident in last week’s TT qualifying after an accident at Ballagarey.

The races around the island in the Irish Sea have been run since 1907 and are among the most dangerous in motorsport. 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 this year after a two-year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the longest break for the event since the second world war.

 This article was amended on 8 June 2022. An earlier version reported that Olivier Lavorel had died and César Chanal was critically injured after a crash in the sidecar race. This was based on information from TT organisers, who said on 8 June 2022 that they had misidentified the competitors (see later article here). In this earlier version, Chanal’s name was also misspelled as “Chanel”.

… we have a small favour to ask. Millions are turning to the Guardian for open, independent, quality news every day, and readers in 180 countries around the world now support us financially.

We believe everyone deserves access to information that’s grounded in science and truth, and analysis rooted in authority and integrity. That’s why we made a different choice: to keep our reporting open for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This means more people can be better informed, united, and inspired to take meaningful action.

In these perilous times, a truth-seeking global news organisation like the Guardian is essential. We have no shareholders or billionaire owner, meaning our journalism is free from commercial and political influence – this makes us different. When it’s never been more important, our independence allows us to fearlessly investigate, challenge and expose those in power.
