STATEMENT: DANIEL INGHAM
The Isle of Man TT Races are deeply saddened by the passing of Daniel Ingham following an incident in yesterday eveningโs qualifying session for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Danielโs family, loved ones, and friends. We would also like to send our heartfelt sympathies to his team.
Whilst 2026 marked his TT debut, Daniel had over a decade of experience on the Mountain Course having competed in the Manx Grand Prix since 2016, claiming a number of podiums in that time, and winning the prestigious Senior MGP in 2024.
A popular and well-respected member of the road racing community, Danielโs passion for the sport was evident to all that knew him.

The focus of todayโs video is Lewis Arrowsmith who is doing fantastic at TT2026 so far this week.
Lewis took an incredible victory in the 2025 Manx Grand Prix Supertwin race. Lewis delivered a standout performance to secure the win, against strong competition. ๐ฎ๐ฒ
During the race Lewis lapped at over 115mph with an average speed of almost 114mph, taking the win by just over 18 seconds. ๐
Heโll definitely be one to watch this week of #TT2026! ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐
Music chosen by the man himself! ๐

STATEMENT ISSUED AT 12:15 ON 28 MAY 2026
STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE ISLE OF MAN TT RACES
Following an incident involving a Sidecar team during the third Qualifying Session of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, the Race Organisation initiated an immediate technical and operational review to assess the circumstances surrounding the incident and the continued participation of the Sidecar class at the event.
Following that review, in conjunction with the Event Promoter, a decision has been taken to suspend the Sidecar class for the remainder of the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races.
This precautionary measure has been implemented in the interests of competitor and spectator safety and reflects the Race Organisationโs commitment to reviewing all aspects of event safety and operational delivery whenever an incident occurs.
All sidecar competitors and teams involved in the event have been briefed by Race Officials on the outcome of the initial review and the next stages of the assessment process.
We recognise the long-standing history of Sidecar racing at the TT, together with the commitment of the competitors, teams and supporters involved in the class. This decision has not been taken lightly. However, the safety of competitors, spectators, marshals, officials and all those involved in the event must remain the priority.
Further updates will be provided in due course through official Isle of Man TT Races channels.
ENDS
We had the pleasure yesterday to go and spend some time with Andrea Majola and present him with the Mal Mitchell Thomas / Billy Redmayne MGP Trophy which is presented each year to the best performing MGP competitior at the following years TT. ๐ฎ๐ฒ
In this instance Andrea won the 2024 Junior Manx Grand Prix and then went on to achieve some fantastic results at the TT in 2025 including an 11th and a 12th place finish in the two TT Supertwin finishes. ๐
Yesterday Dave Redmayne, Billyโs dad presented the trophy to Andrea. An emotional presentation and Andrea was honoured to receive the trophy.
