Karl 'Bomber' Harris

The inquest into the death of TT rider, and three-time British Supersport champion, Karl Harris will be opened today.

The 34-year-old was killed after an incident in last Tuesday's Superstock Race after coming off on the mountain near to the 26th milestone.

Coroner of Inquests John Needham will open proceedings at 2.45pm at Douglas Courthouse.

Following his death TT organisers described the rider, who was from Humber in Sheffield, as one of the 'great characters' of the paddock.
