Overview
- Organisers confirmed that a crash on Tuesday evening at Cruickshanks, Ramsey resulted in one competitor receiving fatal injuries and a second rider sustaining minor injuries who was taken to Noble's Hospital for treatment.
- The session was red‑flagged shortly after the incident and the road between Ramsey Bus Station and Lheaney Road stayed closed for several hours while emergency services responded.
- This follows earlier disruption in the same qualifying period when Salvatore Sallutro was airlifted to Noble's Hospital after a crash at Greeba Bridge and Sunday qualifying was cut short by worsening weather.
- Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson has pointed to built‑in flexibility in the schedule and organisers have announced twice‑daily road closures on Wednesday to run a daytime contingency session and the planned evening programme if weather allows.
- Race officials say they remain confident the full Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT programme can be completed but warn further wet conditions could force more cancellations and that the formal multi‑agency probe will determine the next procedural and safety steps.
