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 memorial lap of the TT course beginning at 12pm.

TT organisers say Mr Martinez’s family who are travelling 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’.
