See here for longer 3 minute version - • TT - Union Mills Incid...
Walked from the Braddan Bridge Campsite to Union Mills to watch the practice at 18:00. 15+ riders through with no issues until #54 came down the hill & overcooked the right hander outside the Railway Inn. Locked everything up, hit the curb, bounced into the padding & back into the road. Sod’s law says I missed video’ing the crash itself, so this is seconds later. The rider jumped up straight away, checked out by the doctor & seems fine. A lucky competitor from the Republic of Ireland - James Chawke . Someone else captured the crash itself • tt 2022 crash
The majority of marshals are bikers, the lead marshals have years of experience, indepth incident management & other training. They're all volunteers, doing it for the love of the sport.

@Greeves 2 года назад

To commenters that slag off the marshals: If you dropped your bike off its stand in a car park & some random guys walked up and dragged it away on it's side you'd be rightly annoyed. If you're a TT competitor that's just hit a 4" curb at 60MPH & trashed your front end you'd be happy for the marshals to makes sure you're OK and then safely get the bike off the course with minumum disrruption to one of the very limited number qualifying sessions. The majority of marshals are bikers, the lead marshals have years of experience, in depth incident management & other training. They're all volunteers, doing it for the love of the sport.

For anyone out there complaining about how they moved this rider's bike off the track.... Even if they had of lifted it on to it's wheels they would still have the issues of it :- 1:- being stuck in gear. 2:- handle bars were broken. (So tricky to operate the clutch) 3:- the possibility of the wheel being jammed against the fork's etc. Imagine the next rider coming through that corner just a little to wide and hitting that solid stationary object laying in the road! Doesn't bare thinking about! Also put yourself in the Marshalls shoe's, with other racers coming past you at over 100mph. Stay safe!

The TT circuit is unique. The public roads are closed for a limited number of fixed periods. There’s very little ‘slack’ to cover bad weather & other incidents. So keeping everyone safe is the first priority but keeping the circuit open for racing is a close second.

@dusty24041970 2 месяца назад

I’d say “depends” but in this case, new front wheel, forks, clip-ons, levers, mirrors. The headstock looked bent back too; so could be new frame - crack tested at the very least. Then all the damaged plastic + a major rebuild to check for any other damage.
