Manx Grand Prix organisers have confirmed a competitor has died after an incident in Tuesday evening’s qualifying session.

The session for Senior and Supersport bikes was red flagged roughly 20 minutes after its 6.30pm start after an incident at Cruickshanks corner in Ramsey.

A spokesperson for the event said: ‘On the first lap of the second qualifying session of the 2026 Manx Grand Prix Races, an incident occurred at Cruickshanks, Ramsey involving two competitors.

‘The session was immediately red flagged.

‘It is with profound sadness that the Manx Grand Prix Races confirms that one competitor sustained fatal injuries.

‘A second competitor was reported as having sustained minor injuries, and is receiving treatment at Noble’s Hospital.

‘In accordance with the event’s standard operating procedures, a multi-agency investigative process is now underway.

‘The Manx Grand Prix Races would like to thank the marshals, medical teams, emergency services, Manx Care and all personnel that supported with the response to today’s incident.

‘Our thoughts are with the competitors, family and friends of those involved, who have asked for privacy at this time. A further update will be issued in due course.’

The session was not restarted, making it the third session this week to be disrupted or cancelled because of weather or red flags.

A contingency session will now be utilised on Wednesday afternoon, with roads closing at 12.30pm.
