Qualifying for the 2026 Isle of Man TT is underway for all classes, in anticipation of race week. Racers and fans alike flock to the IOM each year for the event, happy to spend time among like-minded folks to witness some magnificent racing (that is, those who aren't participating themselves).
Unfortunately, this year has already been rough on several racers. At the time of writing, Daniel Ingham, an experienced road racer who was making his TT debut, died during qualifying yesterday. And two separate crashes resulting in sidecar competitors getting shuttled to hospitals, combined with already-existing safety concerns about sidecar hack speeds this year, have now resulted in the entire sidecar class officially being suspended for the remainder of the 2026 TT.
