The first day of TT 2026 has ended early following a red flag incident during practice sessions on the Snaefell Mountain Course. Organisers confirmed that no further activity will take place on Monday, 25 May, with all qualifying sessions for the day cancelled as management of the incident continues.

Practice Suspended After Parliament Square Incident

The red flag was raised at 1:50pm at Parliament Square in Ramsey during this afternoon's practice session, which had been scheduled to feature all solo and sidecar classes. The clerk of the course immediately confirmed that practice would not resume while incident management operations continue.

What This Means for Visitors and Residents

All roads on the course remain closed for safety reasons, with authorities warning the public not to enter closed roads as vehicles may still be moving around the circuit. Spectators and residents must wait for the all-clear signal before re-entering any roads, whether on foot or by vehicle. The Isle of Man TT Races organisers have emphasised that safety remains the top priority throughout the week.
