How an official announcement of a competitor's death can be entitled 'Special' I have absolutely no idea. At best, this is appallingly insensitive, and I think is something that needs to be reviewed urgently and immediately by the organisers. I'm pretty sure the same thing happened at the TT this year.

I was very sorry indeed to hear of the deaths of two long-standing supporters of the MGP John Loder and Geoff Sawyer. They will both be greatly missed.
