OMG : David Jefferies Killed - Moodie Injured

[Desmo]

David Jefferies was a star rider at the Isle of Man TT races

Isle of Man TT star David Jefferies has been killed in an accident during a practice session for this year's races.

Fellow rider Jim Moodie was seriously injured in the same incident, which happened near the village of Crosby.

Jefferies, who was 30, was one of the most successful racers on the island's Mountain Course.

He had been entered in four races at this year's TT, riding for the TAS Suzuki team and was gunning for a fourth consecutive treble.

The TT is notoriously dangerous and riders are regularly killed as they test the limits of themselves and their bikes.

My thoughts go out to all family an friends.

Story is that Adam Norrie, DJ and Moodie were approaching the flat out left hander at Crosby. In front of them was a privateer bike who's engine went bang.

Adam Norrie managed to avoid the bike and the plumes of smoke now blanketing the circuit.

DJ and Moodie didn't...

Moodie sustained injuries from impact with the telegraph wires, which it appears may have saved his life.
