Tributes have been paid to photographer Simon Mitchell, who died after being hit by a runaway bike at the British Motocross Championships.
Mitchell, who was in his 50s, was killed when a rider dismounted during a jump, as the bike veered off and crashed through a barrier made of hay bales. The weekend racing event at Foxhill near Swindon, attended by around 10,000 people, was promptly abandoned shortly after the incident which took place at around 2:50pm on Sunday.
A marshal, a man in his 60s, also suffered a serious injury. Tragedy struck towards the end of the Premier Class Race, and Mitchell and the marshal were behind a specific point not for spectators, a spokesperson confirmed to BBC Sport.
