I visited today with the intention of leaving a message thanking all of the many volunteers, officials, marshals and everyone else who give so generously of their time to make the TT possible. Then I saw the tragic news of the accident that took the life of a competitor and a marshal. I would like to extend deepest sympathy to the families, loved ones and friends.
May I also humbly suggest that analysis of the tragedy itself be postponed until all the facts are known , and at the very least not be included in this thread of condolences. I hope that those who are grieving can find some comfort in knowing that their loved ones died doing what they loved.
