A rider has died following a crash at the Manx Grand Prix.

69-year-old Ian Bainbridge was killed in an accident during the second qualifying session for the 2023 event. The accident occurred on the exit of Kirk Michael village on his first lap of the session.

Ian from Barnard Castle made his Mountain Course debut in 2005 and had been a regular competitor in the classic racing classes ever since, only missing the Manx Grand Prix on two occasions in that time.

His best performance came in the 2010 Classic Senior Manx Grand Prix when he finished in 8th place.
