Sam Naughton, 37, was killed after crashing at Doran's Bend during the third qualifying session of the Manx GP on the Isle of Man. It is the same corner where Daniel Ingham died at the 2026 TT. A privateer who began road racing in 2020 and was making his second Manx GP appearance, Naughton leaves a wife and four children.

I've lost mates at the track myself, so news like this leaves me without words. Sam Naughton clawed his way up alone from 2020, and this was only his second Manx GP. Doran's Bend is the very corner that claimed a life at last year's TT. Those of us who chase speed can't look away from this weight.

You really feel the weight of road racing. Deepest condolences.

37, four kids left behind. We know no race is risk-free, but it still hurts.

Hearing he was a privateer who clawed his way up makes it hit even harder.

Doran's Bend… the same spot from last year's TT. I'm lost for words.

That corner again… the Isle of Man's speed and danger are two sides of one coin.
