Mountain Road incident causes schedule shift on busy TT race day
Fans heading to the Isle of Man TT on Friday, 5 June 2026 should note an important change to today's schedule. Following a crash on the Mountain Road earlier this morning, organisers have announced a one-hour delay to the day's racing action.
All roads around the famous course will now close at 11am instead of 10am, with practice sessions set to begin at 11:30am. The delay follows a traffic incident on the Mountain Road, which remains closed while emergency services attend to the situation. Despite the setback, three races are still planned for today.
If you're planning to visit the Island for the races, it's worth remembering that Friday, 5 June is a bank holiday on the Isle of Man. Bus Vannin is reminding spectators to check updated timetables before travelling, as services may operate differently than usual. Give yourself extra time to reach viewing spots, especially with the revised road closure schedule.
On a more positive note, a fundraiser supporting a paralysed TT star has exceeded expectations, smashing its £200,000 target. Meanwhile, organisers of the Southern 100 racing event have confirmed they've developed a contingency plan to keep sidecars competing in the July event, ensuring the full spectacle continues.
