A rider has been airlifted to hospital with "non-life threatening injuries" after an accident in the final Superbike race at the North West 200.
The rider crashed at the Quarry Hill corner on the penultimate lap of the road race in Northern Ireland.
He was treated by medics at the scene before being transferred to hospital by air ambulance.
After a red flag stoppage, Davey Todd was declared the winner of the race ahead of Dean Harrison and Alastair Seeley.
Earlier on Saturday, English rider Jamie Coward was taken to hospital after an accident in the opening Supertwins race at Quarry Bend, and another rider was transferred to hospital after an incident at Church Corner which led to a red flag in the Supersport race.
On the opening day of practice on Wednesday, Northern Ireland's Gary McCoy was transported to hospital by ambulance while Englishman Craig Neve was taken from the circuit by air ambulance after an incident at Mill Road in Supersport qualifying.
Neve remains in ICU in Belfast, but both his and McCoy's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
