A TT rider has died following a crash during yesterday's fourth qualifying session.
29-year-old Mark Purslow from Llanon, Ceredigion in Wales was riding near Ballagarey, just before the fourth mile marker, when the accident happened.
Isle of Man TT Races officials confirmed his death last night, adding: "The TT races will continue but always with Mark in mind."
Mark made his first appearance on the TT Mountain Course at the 2015 Manx Grand Prix, where he won the Lightweight Race on his debut.
He graduated to the Isle of Man TT Races in 2017, competing in the Supersport and Lightweight classes - 2022 was his second TT.
Mark had also competed in the Classic TT in 2016, 2018, and 2019, with a best result of 14th in the 2019 Junior Classic TT.
He had set his fastest ever lap of the TT Mountain Course at 120.86mph earlier in the session, his first lap in excess of 120mph.
The Isle of Man TT Races pass on their deepest sympathy to Mark’s family, friends, and loved ones.
