I did post a schedule on twitter earlier but this is likely to change with the cancelling of tonight's practice sessions due to an incident in a solo practice.
There has been an announcement on 3FM that one rider has lost his life.
Condolences and heartfelt sympathies to all Family and friends.

A rider has been killed in the first practice session of the Southern 100.

Police are currently investigating the incident which occurred on the Billown Circuit at approximately 7.15pm.

It happened on the approach to Ballakeighan Corner, more details are still unclear as investigators examine the scene.

The rider has not yet been formally identified and family members are being supported by the ACU riders welfare officer.

An appeal has gone out to any spectators who witnessed the crash to contact Port Erin Police Station on 631520.

Omg! So so sorry for the family and friends. Had heard something had occurred and probably not good. Many of us/you know the feeling! Thinking of all concerned.
