It's been confirmed local rider Dan Kneen has died following a crash in Wednesday evening's TT practice session.
The 30-year-old was involved in an incident at the Churchtown area of the course, which resulted in a tree catching fire and the session being red flagged.
Kneen had been in promising form in previous practices; not least on Tuesday evening when he was almost 2mph up on his previous best.
That came back in the 2017 Superstock race where he registered the one and only podium finish of his TT career.
He was third quickest on his Tyco BMW on Tuesday night with a 132.26mph lap.
The rest of Wednesday's action was called off following the incident at Churchtown on Wednesday, with police later confirming the competitor involved was Kneen.
ACU Events Ltd passed on its deepest sympathies to Dan's partner, Leanne, his family and many friends in the road racing community and beyond.
