The vehicle set off from St Ninian's in Douglas at approximately 4:05pm on Friday, May 29, marking the end of qualifying sessions and the start of the countdown to race day.
With qualifying now complete, attention turns to the main event. Roads are expected to close by 10am on Saturday, May 30 for the first day of racing, so visitors and residents planning to travel around the Island should factor in potential delays during the TT fortnight.
If you're planning to be on the Isle of Man during TT week, the opening of the roads signals that the most intense part of the festival is about to begin. Road closures will be in place throughout the race weekend, so plan your travel accordingly and allow extra time for journeys across the Island.
Police have also issued a reminder about speeding regulations, particularly around the closed road zones. Marshals will be working with officers to prosecute anyone found on closed roads during racing, so it's crucial to respect all signage and barriers for both your safety and that of competitors.
For the best TT experience, check local traffic updates, plan your route in advance, and consider using official viewing areas and spectator zones to enjoy the world-famous motorcycle racing event safely.
