    Just been checking out the BBC News web page. Some poor sod coped it in practice already.
    A rider has died and another has been seriously injured in a crash during the pre-TT races.

    Organisers Southern 100 Racing said Dean Martin, from the Isle of Man, died in a crash with Jamie O'Brien on the Billown course in the 850cc classic practice on Friday.

    Mr O'Brien, from Liverpool, and a marshal who was also badly hurt, were flown to the city's Aintree Hospital.
    RIP Chap

    Sad day indeed.
    I was the flag Marshall at the point of where the accident started.

    Spend over an hour with the police yesterday making a statement.

    Can't say anymore.

    Dave.
