A rider has died in an accident while racing on the Isle of Man, a day before the TT begins.
Alan Oversby, aged 68, was competing in the Pre-TT Classic Road Races on Sunday. He lost his life in an incident on the approach to Ballakeighan, on the second lap of the 400cc race, organisers Southern 100 confirmed.
Oversby was a veteran of the Pre-TT Classic, first competing 21 years ago and winning his maiden race a year later.
He won 16 races at the annual precursor to the Isle of Man TT, including two on Sunday 24 May, before his death.
Separate crash incident.

They've been trying to slow the outfits right down from what I hear, so the future is uncertain.
From Friday. Day 1 race was cancelled due to the weather.

It has struck me after all this time that the riding style is more over the bike. One cheek off rather hanging right off so to speak. The rider position ergos appear more in the bike than on it too.
I'm guessing you can't hang off fully to the inside line if the apex has bluestone, a hedge or a gutter in the way! Then there's the harsher road surface.
I'll ask mates who know Cam Donald to ask him about this.

Brad Pitt is going to make a movie about the TT. Of all the races and motorsport in the world, it deserves a movie
