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.
