Rider Steve Mercer's condition has been described as 'deteriorating' after a collision last week.
The 36-year-old from Kent was transferred to hospital in Liverpool after a collision with a course car at Ballacrye on Wednesday, May 30.
His wife, Caroline took to social media to reveal the extent of his injuries - confirming he had undergone surgery for pelvic and leg injuries and was unable to breathe unassisted.
Now, she says he wasn't able to have his breathing tube removed, because his condition has worsened over the last few days.
She adds he's being very well looked after by the critical care team he's currently with.
