LAST night's practice session for the Isle Of Man TT races was halted following the death of a Japanese motorcyclist riding for a Co Derry-based team.
The accident happened at the very fast Ballacry section of the mountain circuit.
Yoshinari Matsushita was riding for the Moneymore-based Tyco Suzuki team. Practice was delayed on Monday night with conditions far from ideal due to earlier heavy rain around the island.
