Ian Bainbridge made his debut on the Mountain Course in 2010
The organisers of the Manx Grand Prix have announced a rider has died following last night's qualifying session.
Ian Bainbridge from Barnard Castle was involved in an incident on the exit of Kirk Michael Village on his first lap of the session.
The 69-year-old was a regular competitor in classic racing classes, having made his debut on the Mountain Course in 2005, with his best finish coming in the 2010 Classic Senior Manx Grand Prix, when he finished 8th.
The MGP has passed on its deepest sympathy to Ian's family, loved ones, and friends.
