French sidecar driver Olivier Lavorel has died from critical injuries sustained at the Isle of Man TT four months ago - it has been confirmed.
Lavorel was involved in the fatal crash at the opening sidecar race of the 2022 TT in June. His driver Cesar Chanel was killed at the scene after an accident that occurred on Ago's Leap, just one mile into the course.
There was an initial case of mistaken identity when reports suggested Lavorel had passed away at the scene, and TT officials had to clarify in their statement that it was in fact Chanel that had died in the June 4 crash.
