Second practice session set for this evening following yesterday's incident
The Isle of Man TT 2026 is back on track this evening, with the second practice session scheduled to get underway despite yesterday's serious incident at Ramsey. After the first session was cut short due to a crash that injured eight spectators and a rider, organisers have launched a full investigation and put safety measures in place for tonight's action.
If you're planning to watch the TT or travel around the Island this evening, be aware that significant road closures will be in effect. The Mountain Road will close at 4:45pm, with the remainder of the course closing at 6:00pm for the second practice session. Roads are expected to fully reopen by 9:30pm, so plan your journey accordingly.
The serious crash during yesterday's opening practice has prompted organisers to take action. The House of Keys will hold an extra sitting this morning to discuss the incident, and a formal investigation has been launched. Despite the setback, TT officials remain committed to ensuring safe conditions for riders, spectators, and emergency services throughout the festival.
It's not all serious business at TT 2026! Peel is set to host its first-ever live beach gig during the festival next week, bringing entertainment closer to the coast. Meanwhile, an Island firefighter will tackle the famous course on foot in full firefighting kit later in the month — a unique challenge that promises to capture the spirit of the event.
