    Just read this....terrible news for the sport....

    "A competitor has been killed during practice for the Southern 100 road races on the Isle of Man.

    The accident happened on the approach to Ballakeighan during the Supersport 600cc session at around 7.15pm on Monday evening – the first night of the four-day race festival at the Billown course.

    The competitor's name has not yet been released.

    An investigation has been launched into the cause of the accident and an appeal was made to spectators who witnessed the incident to get in touch with police at Port Erin station.

    Michael Dunlop had earlier set the fastest time on his Honda TT Legends Superbike.

    No further details are yet available.    "

    Horrible to hear. R.I.P.

    Also, I hate how the article says he was killed.
