A competitor has died following a crash involving two riders during qualifying for the Manx Grand Prix on the Isle of Man.<\/b><\/p>\n
The session was red-flagged at about 18:50 BST following the incident at Cruickshanks, in Ramsey, on the opening lap of Tuesday evening’s session.<\/p>\n
Organisers said the other competitor involved had suffered minor injuries and was being treated at the island’s main hospital, Noble’s. The riders have not been named.<\/p>\n
The road between Ramsey Bus Station and Lheaney Road in Ramsey remained closed for more than three hours after the crash.<\/p>\n
In a statement, organisers said: “It’s with profound sadness that the Manx Grand Prix Races confirms that one competitor sustained fatal injuries.<\/p>\n
“In accordance with the event’s standard operating procedures, a multi-agency investigative process is now underway.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with the competitors, family and friends of those involved, who have asked for privacy at this time.”<\/p>\n
Tuesday marked the second day of qualifying for the 2026 Manx Grand Prix (MGP) and Classic TT following the cancellation of Monday’s sessions because of rain showers.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s opening session was cut short following a red-flag incident that saw Italian rider Salvatore Sallustro taken to hospital for treatment and a later deterioration of the weather.<\/p>\n
Qualifying for the MGP, which runs in parallel with the Classic TT on the 37.7 mile (61km) Mountain Course, is scheduled to take place daily until Saturday, followed by racing in the two events until 28 August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
