Superbike Class Rider Davey Lambert Succumbs To Injuries After Crash At Isle Of Man
English rider Davey Lambert succumbed to injuries sustained after a crash during the Superbike Class race at the Isle Of Man TT, 2017.
English motorcycle rider Davey Lambert has succumbed to injuries as a result of a crash at the Isle of Man TT. Lambert was making his debut at the popular annual road race event and crashed in the opening Superbike race on Sunday.
Lambert had sustained multiple injuries after crashing his race-prepped Kawasaki ZX-10R on lap three of the six lap race. The crash happened at Greeba Castle, one of the most dangerous corners of the 60.72 kilometre-long mountain course.
The Snaefell course has seen more than 250 rider fatalities since the first Isle of Man TT race in 1907. The mountain road racing course is indeed one of the most dangerous circuits in the world, especially given the speeds these riders touch.
Superbike class riders almost always cross more than 300km/h, and the fastest lap record held by Michael Dunlop of 16 minutes and 53 seconds was clocked with an average speed of just above 215km/h.
Though 48-year-old Davey Lambert was competing in the Isle Of Man TT for the first time, he had experienced the Snaefell course since 2014 through competing in the Manx Grand Prix that takes place on the same circuit in August.
After the crash, he was airlifted to Nobles Hospital on the Isle of Man, and then was transferred to Aintree Hospital in Liverpool where he succumbed to his injuries. A statement from his family on Facebook read, "He went out of this world in exactly the way he would have wanted, doing what he loved".
