Along with racing triumph at the Isle of Man TT comes tragedy. This year's racing has unfortunately seen two fatalities already with the 2014 TT races running from May 31 to June 6.

The first death was 65-year-old racer Bob Price (pictured above) of Gloucestershire, England, during the third lap of the Supersport class race on June 2. He had been racing in various events at the TT since 1992 and was even runner-up in the Senior Classic in 2002, according to the BBC News.

Tragedy struck again on June 3 when Karl Harris, 34, from Sheffield, England, crashed during the second lap of the Superstock class race, according to Fox Sports. He began racing in the TT in 2012 but was an experienced motorcycle racer in Britain and won the 1999 European Superstock 1,000cc Championship, according to a press release from TT organizer ACU Events Ltd.

Our condolences go out to the friends and families of both riders. Scroll down to read the official statements from ACU Events.Continue reading Two riders killed as Isle of Man TT racing continues
