The Isle of Man TT was bought to a halt following a “serious incident” that involved a rider and eight spectators, all of whom required medical attention.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred at the exit to Parliament Square in Ramsey. Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson earlier confirmed the remainder of the day’s schedule had been cancelled “as management of the incident” continued.<\/p>\n
A statement from the event read: “The session was immediately stopped and all racing activity around the Mountain Course was suspended to allow for serious incident response procedures to be enacted.<\/p>\n
“The incident occurred on the exit of Parliament Square, and involved a single competitor and a number of spectators. The competitor was taken to Nobles Hospital and is currently reported as conscious and talking with leg injuries, and continues to receive further treatment.<\/p>\n
