Peter Hickman was flown to hospital by Airmed helicopter after crashing on the first lap of Friday evening’s qualifying session for the Isle of Man TT.
Shortly before 19:30 confirmed that the red flag was issued following an incident in which Peter Hickman, riding bike number 10, came off at Kerrowmoar.
The update read that Peter was currently reported as conscious and stable, and had been taken to Noble’s Hospital by Airmed for further assessment, with further condition updates to be provided in due course.
As riders who had been stopped around the course returned to the paddock, rain began to affect parts of the course. Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson subsequently confirmed the cancellation of the remainder of the session.
Dean Harrison led the charge, posting the fastest time of the day on his Honda Racing Superstock machine with a lap at 132.853mph – just shy of his Wednesday benchmark.
Davey Todd, aboard the Monster Energy by 8TEN Racing BMW, topped the Superbike leaderboard with a 132.673mph lap, while Honda’s Harrison (128.093mph) and Michael Dunlop on the Paton (122.159mph) led the Supersport and Supertwin classes respectively.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Callum Crowe continued their dominance in the Sidecar category, clocking the fastest ever qualifying lap by a three-wheeler at 120.202mph.
