Roger and Bradley Stockton, a father-and-son Sidecar crew, were sadly killed in a crash at the Isle of Man TT on Friday, bringing the overall number of fatalities in 2022 to five.

The tragedy occurred barely one mile into the track, near the Ago’s Leap segment, where Sidecar driver Cesar Chanal died in an accident during the first Sidecar race last Saturday.

Roger, 56, and Bradley Stockton, 21, both from Crewe, were killed in the incident on Friday, according to TT organizers.
