TT 2026 resumes this evening (Tuesday) with the first timed qualifying session of this year’s festival.

Monday afternoon’s planned qualifying was scrapped after the red-flag incident at Ramsey that saw eight spectators and a rider taken to hospital for treatment.

Prior to that most competitors had got several laps in during the morning’s untimed practice session, in what many described as ‘perfect conditions’.

The Mountain Road will close at 4.45pm, with the rest of the course closing at 6pm.

The Superbike and Superstock machinery will be first in action tonight at 6.30pm, with the Supersport and Sportbike session at 7.20pm.

The sidecars round out the session at 8.15pm with roads due to open no later than 9.30pm.

This evening and tonight will be dry with clear spells, as the mainly moderate wind turns to the east.

Minimum temperature no lower than 14°C.
