Another TT competitor died racing this afternoon.

Alan Bonner, aged 33, from County Meath in the Republic of Ireland, died this afternoon during a qualifying session.

He was involved in an incident at the 33rd Milestone during the qualifying session for the Senior TT.

Bonner made his TT mountain course debut at the 2014 TT Races and had a highest placed finish of 15th, which he achieved in the 2015 Senior TT.

He finished 28th in the Superbike race last Sunday, June 4, winning a bronze replica and also finished 30th in this morning’s Superstock race, winning another bronze replica.

He was the fastest ever TT rider from the Republic of Ireland with a lap of 127.090mph which he achieved in 2015.

He is the third competitor to die in 24 hours.

Jochem van den Hoek, from Werkendam in Holland, was killed this morning during the Superstock race.

TT rider Davey Lambert has lost his fight for life in hospital in Liverpool last night.
