A Dut﷽ch newcomer has died following an incident during Wednesday's Manꦜx Grand Prix practice session on the Isle of Man.

A statement issued by the organisers on Thursday morning said: "The Manx Motor Cycle Club, organisers of the Manx Grand Prix, regret to announce that Dennis Hoffer, 🌠42, from Hoogkarspel in Holland, was killed in an incident near the 13th Milestone during last night's Manx Grand Prix qualif♓ying session on the Isle of Man.

"Hoffer, who was single, was a newcomer to the Mountai☂n Course. He has been a regular racer on European circuits since 2009.

"The Manx Motor Cycle Club wishes to extend its deepest sympat𝔍hy to♌ Dennis's family and friends."

Wednesday's session was red flagged due to Mr Hoffer's ac♕cident and another, unconnected incident near the 13th Milestone.

Ken Da🔯vi𓆉s came off at the same section of the Mountain Course and is described as being in a comfortable condition.

The session was later cancelled due to the length of time requir෴ed to clear the scene and deteriorating weather𝓀 conditions.
