As part of the structured safety review undertaken following yesterday’s serious incident, the spectator viewing area in Ramsey will remain prohibited for the duration of this year’s TT.
Nine people received hospital treatment following the incident, including eight spectators. Two of them are continuing to receive treatment, with the others discharged.
A spokesperson said: “Given the unusual nature of the incident, this precautionary measure has been implemented following an initial assessment by race, safety and operational personnel and reflects the Isle of Man TT Races’ commitment to reviewing and responding to safety considerations whenever an incident occurs.
“The review has involved detailed consideration of the circumstances surrounding the incident and the wider operational environment. While the multi-agency investigation process will continue, a number of immediate measures have been identified and implemented ahead of any further activity on the Course this evening.
“The safety of competitors, spectators, marshals, officials and all those involved in the event remains our highest priority.
“Two spectators remain in hospital and continue to receive treatment. The competitor and all other spectators involved have now been discharged from hospital.
“Our thoughts remain with those involved in the incident, together with their families and friends. We would also like to once again thank the marshals, medical teams, emergency and hospital services and all personnel who responded so quickly and professionally.”
