A fundraiser for paralysed sidecar racer Maria Costello MBE has exceeded all expectations and has left her 'overwhelmed'.

That's from her team who have told Manx Radio it evidences the sense of community in the biking world.

Maria, and her passenger Shaun Parker, were involved in what’s been described as a ‘horrific accident’ at Brandish during TT qualifying on 26 May.

Siobhán Fletcher went to the paddock this week to catch up with Maria's sportbike mechanic Dale Extance.

He gave us the latest update on her condition, and said she's been overwhelmed by the support she's seen from far and wide.
