A TT, MGP and Classic TT competitor has been jailed for 18 years after being found guilty of raping a child.
33 year old Connor Behan of Newcastle-Under-Lyme had denied sex offences against a young girl.
He competed on the Island between 2013 and 2015, taking part in seven races.
Chester Crown Court heard he'd accepted no responsibility and had tried to blame his victim.
