RIP Alan Oversby

Posted on 24th May 2026 at 22:20
We are so very sorry to share the sad news that Alan Oversby lost his life in an incident whilst racing at the Pre-TT Classic Road Races today, Sunday, 24 May 2026. 

RIP Alan Oversby 

Alan has been a member of CRMC for over 20 years and has been a familiar face in the CRMC paddock for many years. He'd raced competitively at the Southern 100 Course of the Pre-TT Classic in the Isle of Man since 2005, taking his first win in 2006 and going on to win 16 races, including 2 wins earlier today (Sunday). 
We understand that Alan was killed in an accident on the second lap whilst approaching Ballakeighan, which is the first corner on the course. 
 
Alan was a tremendously experienced racer of many years who had won countless races over his successful racing career. He was a quiet, talented engineer and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. 
 
Our thoughts and condolences to Alan's wife Julie and family and friends at this sad time.

Very sad loss. He always rode skilfully and hard but never angry or aggressive. A great quiet true sportsman who always respected his fellow competitors. He helped me with my lines at 3 Sisters in 1990 after a race where he had spent a brief part of it behind me.
My condolences to Julie and his family and friends.
