Update on S100 crash victims

Five riders injured in Thursday's racing

An update on the riders injured during Thursday's racing at the Southern 100 has been issued.

Four competitors were involved in a crash at the Stadium Bend section of the Billown Course, with Driffield rider James Cowton suffering fatal injuries.

It's now been confirmed Ivan Lintin, from Lincoln, has undergone surgery at a hospital in Liverpool - although it's understood he's still in a critical condition.

Jamie Coward, from West Yorkshire, and local Manx rider Michael Evans have both been discharged from hospital.

They both suffered non-life threatening injuries in that same incident.

A fifth rider was also injured in a separate incident earlier in the day at Church Bends.

Poole's Brian Fuidge has since been flown off-Island to be treated for an injury sustained to his jaw.
