Manx TT racer came off at Greeba during Wednesday's session

Manx TT racer Michael Evans has been declared fit to ride following an incident in last night's TT qualifying session.

He was airlifted to Noble's Hospital after coming off his bike at Greeba, but reportedly suffered no fractures, soft tissue damage or head or spinal injuries. 

In an update this evening, his team Dafabet Racing posted a picture of Michael smiling in the paddock. 

They say the whole team has been working flat out to rebuild his Honda Fireblade and have thanked everyone, including rival teams, for helping them source the parts and equipment needed to get the bike back up and running.

The team has also shared its thoughts and deepest condolences with the family and friends of 33-year-old racer Daniel Ingham, who TT organisers today confirmed was killed during yesterday's qualifying session.
