The Southern 100 has confirmed the death of rider Alan Oversby in an incident during the Pre-TT Classic Road Races on the Isle of Man. Oversby, a 68-year-old racer from Bolton-Le-Sands, had been participating in the 400cc race. He was an experienced competitor, first joining the event in 2005 and achieving 14 victories overall. The tragic accident occurred on the second lap of the 400cc race on the approach to Ballakeighan. The organisers extended their deepest sympathy to Alan’s family, friends, and team members. The Pre-TT Classic Road Races, held since 1988 as a lead-up to the iconic Isle of Man TT, are exclusively for classic machinery and are hosted on the Billown circuit.
