Dobbs dies in Supersport race



(UKPA) – 2 hours ago



Organisers of the Isle of Man TT have confirmed that New Zealand racer Paul Dobbs has died after an accident in Thursday's second Supersport race.



The 39-year-old was involved in a "racing incident" on the Ballagarey section of the 37.733-mile track and leaves a wife and two children.



Jim Parker, chairman of organisers the Auto Cycle Union, told www.iomtt.com: "Paul was a really popular rider in the paddock and was a great competitor. He was a very talented rider who made many friends in the racing community. He will be sorely missed."



The Onewhero native, who had finished 22nd in Monday's first Supersport race, competed at the TT for the first time in 1999, recording a best finish of sixth in the 400cc lightweight race in 2000.
 
Sad news indeed, was hoping we would make it thru without any fatalities.....Godspeed!
 
RIP Friend

Lex, I'd guess he's gone to the great circuit-in-the-sky doing the one and only thing he wanted to be doing... for some hanging up the leathers is a fate worse than death.
 
He's probably sitting at the bar with Joey Dunlop right now at the paddock in the sky tossing back a cold one.

Cheers Mate.

News from Nobles on Guy Martin. He has bruising to both lungs and minor fractures to upper spine.



get well soon dude.!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
RIP (its amazing this thing is still legal, but hey, they are men who choose the risk, and I can honor that).



Thanks for the thrills. Condolences to the family.
 
RIP. Thats what gets me about these TT boys, They go out there and put it all on the line for very little fame and fortune. They are probably the truest form of motorcycle racers on the planet!
 
Updatte on Conor Cummins.......Has leg and arm injuries.I`m so releived that there were no more fatalities,the two guys who passed away was enough to bring me down I gotta say.
