Statement on Behalf of the ACU Events Ltd - Malcolm - 07-06-2017

ACU Events Ltd regrets to announce that Jochem van den Hoek, 28, from Werkendam in Holland, was killed this morning during the Superstock race at the Isle of Man TT Races.
Jochem had an accident at the 11th Milestone on the 1st lap of the race and was treated at the scene.
Jochem made his TT mountain course debut last year recording a 44th placed finish in his debut race, the Superbike TT as well as 34th placed finish in the Superstock race in the same year and a 36th place in the 2016 Senior TT. He finished in 27th place in this year’s Superbike race on Sunday 4th June, his highest placed finish, winning a bronze replica.
ACU Events Ltd wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Jochem’s family and friends.

I was at the 11th when this happened, and was horrible thing to witness.
I have to say a HUGE shout out to all the marshalls, TM No2 Jim Hunter, AIRMed, and a nurse who was spectating.
They NEVER gave up on Jochem, and did everything the could and more, for far longer than most would do. All done professionally,and with dignity.
If Jochem could have been saved with willpower that day, it would have been a different outcome, but it was not to be.
rip mate.
