A 28-year-old Dutch TT competitor died this morning.

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

Jochem had an accident at the 11th Milestone on the first lap of the race and was treated at the scene.

Jochem made his TT mountain course debut last year recording a 44th placed finish in his debut race, the Superbike TT as well as 34th placed finish in the Superstock race in the same year and a 36th place in the 2016 Senior TT.

He finished in 27th place in this year’s Superbike race on Sunday, June 4, his highest placed finish, winning a bronze replica.

As we reported earlier today, TT rider Davey Lambert has lost his fight for life last night.
