Isle of Man TT racer, Daniel Ingham, has been killed in a crash during qualifying for the competition.
The 33-year-old was involved in a crash at Doran's Bend on the western side of the course, completing his first lap of the third qualifying, race organisers said.
Ingham had been a regular on the Isle of Man's Mountain Course since 2016, being involved in the initial Manx Grand Prix before heading over to the TT races.
He was a newcomer at the 2026 Isle of Man TT and made his debut at the North West 200 races in Northern Ireland in early May.
In a statement, organisers said: "The Isle of Man TT Races pass on their deepest sympathy to his wife, Helayna, and his son Joey and daughter Phoebe, as well as his family and friends."
The organisers described Ingham as a "popular and well-respected member of the road racing community", adding they are "deeply saddened".
They continued: "Daniel's passion for the sport was evident to all that knew him.
"We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Daniel's family, loved ones, and friends. We would also like to send our heartfelt sympathies to his team."

The first week of the Isle of Man TT races saw eight spectators be left injured after a motorbike rider crashed into a crowd.
The incident occurred after a crashed bike on the exit of Ramsey's Parliament Square entered a fan area and pushed crowd barriers back into spectators, all of whom were hospitalised.
Opening practice in the Supersport, Supertwin, and Sidecar classes passed without incident; however, a red flag during the Superbike and Superstock sessions brought a halt to the event.
Organisers paused due to "the implementation of serious incident protocols" after the incident in Ramsey, with the remainder of the day's scheduled timed qualifying sessions cancelled.
