Three hour delay to today's planned racing

Saturday, 6 June 2026 07:19

TT organisers have announced a three hour delay to today’s planned racing schedule.

They're hoping to hold both the Sportbike race 2, and the Senior TT after it was stopped by a red flag incident after two laps yesterday evening, Friday, June 5 - the rider was reported as conscious and talking.

Because overnight rain on the roads needs to dry, race officials say the Mountain Road is now due to close at 12pm, followed by all roads around the course at 1pm, Saturday, June 6.

A further update is expected at 12pm.
