TT chief marshal resigns his post

Rider Marc Ramsbotham died at the scene of the crash
The TT chief marshal has resigned in the wake of criticism from the coroner over the 2007 centenary event, in which three people were killed.

Coroner Michael Moyle recorded verdicts of misadventure and noted "considerable failings" in the race organisation.

Roger Hurst, chairman of the TT Marshals' Association for 15 years, said he had no option but to resign.

In his resignation letter, Mr Hurst thanked the "thousands" of people involved in road racing on the island.

Rider Marc Ramsbotham, 34, of Wymondham, Norfolk, died in a crash at the 26th milestone on the final day of the races in June.

Spectators Dean Jacob, 33, of Kidderminster, and Gregory Kenzig, 52, from Australia, were also killed.
