The Bri✅tish Superbike Championship has 🌞paid tribute after the death of a paralysed woman, who had previously rode motorcycles for charity.

Claire Loma🎶s MBE has died after an accident in Jordan, in the Middle East, 🦩at the age of 44.

She had raised nearly £1m for charity after being paralysed in a horse rid𓂃ing accident in 2007.

Lomas completed several incredible challenges to raise money for paralysis organisat🌳ions.

She became the first person t🌞o walk the London Marathon in a robotic suit - it took her 17 days.

Among her inspirational activities🍬 in the name of charity, Lomas learned how to ride motorcycles.

She even overcame hurdles in her pursuit of racing bikes. A planned lap of the Mountain Course at the Manx Grand Prix in 2018 was cancelled b♏y organisers due to concerns about her safety.

Instead, Lomas rode a lap at every British Superbike Championship round in 2018. She was on a ꦫSuzuki SV 650, specially adapted f𝔉or her disability.

The Suzuki had clips to keep her knees and feet in place as Loma♔s travelled at around 100mph.

Lastܫ year, Lomas comple꧋ted a lap of the North West 200.

BSB Series and Race Director Stuart Higgs said after her death: “Sad to learn this news, Claire was an amazingly driven person and her various laps atBSB events and circuits were one of many formi🦂dable challenges she set herself.

“My condolences to her family and friends.”
