Motorcycle Crashes Head On Into A Building @ 130kph
Bob Price, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, died in a crash at Ballaugh on the third lap of the 37.5 mile (60 km) Mountain course earlier. Organiser ACU Events said the 65-year-old was an experienced road racer and an investigation into the accident was under way. The coroner of inquests has also been informed. Mr Price, a car body repair shop owner, first competed at the TT in 1992, ACU Events said. His racing career highlights include a third-place finish in the MGP Junior Classic and runner-up in the Senior Classic, both in 2002. A spokesman for the organisers said: "The ACU wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Bob's family and friends." |

The day after another rider, Karl Harris, was killed during the Superstock race. Since 1911 242 riders lost their lives (only in 1970 six riders died), plus 14 more in accidents related to the races.
