TT 2026 schedule tweaked for 'resilience and flexibility'

TT organisers say they've updated next year's schedule to make the programme more resilient and flexible.

After two years of bad weather curtailing racing at the festival, Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson says there's an extra rest day for teams on the Thursday of practice week in 2026.

There's also an extra session, bringing the total number of planned practice and qualifiers from six to seven.

And organisers say the number of contingency opportunities throughout the fortnight has also increased.
