Nicolas Servigne was indeed very impressive, but despite thinking of returning to race in the TT, he has so far not returned, I think he had severe concussion, and unfortunatly he has never been quite the same rider.
Another French Pilot to look out for, is Erwan Erkelens, he finished 7th in the 2006 Newcomers Class A, best lap was about 111.5mph. He rode a standard GSXR 750 with a faulty steering damper.
He returned in 2007 to race in the S100, and was in about 15th position in the 1st race, when he had a fiery accident at Stadium Corner, this resulted in Erwan having a ride in a helicopter, and the race being abandoned for the evening, and his bike being completely destroyed. The S100 DVD showing his crash is !!!!
The good news(?) is that Erwan hopes to return in 2008 for another go at the S100, and MGP.
