A father and his son have died in the same accident during the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race.
Roger Stockton had actually put the choir gloves and suit on the shelf. But he still decided to take part in the world's most notorious motorcycle race, the Isle of Man TT, this year. It was fatal for both him and his son Bradley. Father and son died in the same accident when things went wrong on the last lap of Roger Stockton's lob. Sonnen, Bradley, who was in the sidecar, died like his father. It brings great sadness both among the lobby's organizers and the family. – Isle of Man Races sends its deepest sympathies to Roger and Bradley's family, loved ones and friends, writes the organizer in a press release. Roger and Bradley Stockton are not the only ones to have tragically died during this year's Isle of Man lob. In total, 5 of the race's participants died as a result of accidents. In general, the Isle of Man race is known to be a very difficult motor race that requires fatalities every year. The race has been held since 1907, and the only year without a fatal accident was 1982. Tragically for father and son Stockton, the Isle of Man organizer got off to a bad start when it was announced that the wrong choir had died. The organizer informed the BBC that the choir Olivier Lavorel had passed away. However, it turned out to be Cesar Chanal. Lavorel was involved in another accident and his condition remained critical on Thursday evening. Roger Stockton held – until his death – a short 19 Isle of Man lobs. Had he not been wrong on the last lap, he could have celebrated a round anniversary with the wild lob.
