Racer says 'Thank You' for help in returning to IoM
A TT racer who crashed last year - losing his bike in a ‘fireball’ - has thanked the people who’ve helped him return to the Isle of Man.
Sam West was airlifted to hospital after a crash at Laurel Bank after what he described as a ‘silly mistake’.
He says after spending his savings on surgery he was left with no way to race in 2023 – until his friends and sponsors stepped in.
Speaking before today’s first practice session Sam said he’s ‘grateful’ to be back:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
