Overview

  • Peter Hickman crashed at the fast Kerrowmoar corner during Friday night qualifying and was airlifted to Noble’s Hospital in conscious, stable condition.
  • The session was red-flagged immediately after Hickman’s fall, with marshals escorting riders back to the paddock under controlled speed.
  • Persistent rain showers on Friday evening forced cancellation of the remainder of qualifying, compounding a weather-impacted practice week.
  • Honda Racing’s Dean Harrison had been leading the session before the red flag stopped all track action.
  • Final qualifying is set for Saturday, with the opening TT races now scheduled to begin on Sunday following the additional practice day.
