Bikers are being urged to respect the Island's roads after the first death of TT 2016 on open roads.
Yesterday a 55-year-old man from Bolton died after crashing at Hailwood's Rise - he'd collided with the back of a car being driven by a local resident.
Another biker was also seriously injured after being clipped by a motorcyclist at Keppel Gate - the crashes led to the Mountain Road being closed:
Sergeant Barry Hand works in the Emergency Services Joint Control Room - he says people aren't taking enough notice of the road safety messages:
