The family of motorcyclist Mark Purslow are ‘heartbroken’ following his tragic death in Wednesday night’s Isle of Man TT qualifying session.
The Welshman lost his life at the age of just 29 after a crash in the Ballagarey area of the circuit, located just before the fourth mile of the famous 37.75mile Mountain Course. His family took to social media and expressed their sorrow while paying tribute to their dear relative.
Writing on Purslow's social media pages they said: “Mark was loved by everyone, not one person had a bad word to say about him and that's because he was an amazing person inside and out, always cracking a joke and making light of every situation with a big smile on his face, always there for other people. He loved to ride, and he knew the risks but he loved racing since such a young age. He followed his dad, Colin, and his talent was immense, he learnt from the best.
