The event was marred by the death of 6 competitors, making it the deadliest since 1970.[5] Two riders died in the Supersport class, second-time TT participant Mark Purslow in practice and the experienced Davy Morgan during the first Supersport TT.[6] Four riders died in the Sidecar class in 2 different accidents, newcomers Cesar Chanal and Olivier Lavorel in race 1,[7] and the father and son duo of Roger and Bradley Stockton in race 2.[8] Rider-journalist Mike Booth lost his leg during a practice crash.[9]
