Martinez’s Final Lap
The lap will begin at 12pm from the Grandstand
The funeral for Raul Torras Martinez, who died in this year’s races, will be held on the island today, beginning with a lap of the TT Course.
Martinez died in the final lap of the Supertwin race on June 6.
His funeral will take place on Wednesday June 21 starting with a lap of the course beginning at 12pm, led by the hearse carrying his coffin.
TT organisers say Martinez’s family, who have travelled from Spain for the funeral, want to welcome anyone who is able to, to join them in celebrating his life.
After a lap of the course, his funeral will be held at 1.15pm in Douglas Crematorium.
Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Billy Redmayne Memorial Fund.
The Manx Motor Cycle Club has added its own tribute to the 46-year-old Spanish rider, saying Martinez was ‘an incredibly popular member of the paddock family’.
