STATEMENT ISSUED FROM THE MANX GRAND PRIX RACES
On the first lap of the second qualifying session of the 2026 Manx Grand Prix Races, an incident occurred at Cruickshanks, Ramsey involving two competitors. The session was immediately red flagged.
It is with profound sadness that the Manx Grand Prix Races confirms that one competitor sustained fatal injuries. A second competitor was reported as having sustained minor injuries, and is receiving treatment at Nobles Hospital.
In accordance with the event’s standard operating procedures, a multi-agency investigative process is now underway.
The Manx Grand Prix Races would like to thank the marshals, medical teams, emergency services, Manx Care and all personnel that supported with the response to today’s incident. Our thoughts are with the competitors, family and friends of those involved, who have asked for privacy at this time.
A further update will be issued in due course.

Might not look much, but this things moving along nicely. What was a dusty cobweb strewn road bike with one or two nice bits is slowly becoming a Manx Grand Prix Classic Superbike. Built in the living room for about 5 quid. Which I had to physically pry out of @MikeMace_63 hands
