Come TORQ this TT

Saturday, 18 May 2024 10:51

Two charities have teamed-up to create a mental health and wellbeing service for TT riders.

The Dan Kneen Charitable Fund and Rock2Recovery have founded TORQ, a welfare sevice available to anyone affected by a serious TT racing incident.

TORQ supports competitors with serious injuries, coaching for friends and family and supporting those who have lost a loved one.

The service will be based at the new rider welfare facility in the paddock this TT, with support available throughout the year for anyone affected by a racing incident.
