The surviving motorcyclist remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital, and the car passenger suffered minor injuries and has been released from hospital.

A statement from Mr Evans's family yesterday said: "John was a keen and safe motorcyclist with many years of experience and has been tragically killed while doing something he loved.

"John has recently retired from the RAF and moved back to the Glynneath area, he was a loving brother and will be dearly missed by our family and friends."
