Ensuring racing happened at all has been one of the biggest challenges of the 2025 Isle of Man TT
The 2025 Isle of Man TT has faced significant challenges due to weather delays, leading to the cancellation, rescheduling, and shortening of practices and races since May 26. Despite this, all planned racing events have eventually taken place. Credit is given to race control, under the leadership of clerk of course Gary Thompson, for their proactive decision-making to minimize disruptions for both racing and the local community. Thompson’s management was evident during incidents like the need to delay races for public safety concerns like road traffic collisions. Despite weather and incidents, only one race was remaining by the second rest day, showcasing the efficiency of Thompson’s team. Thompson emphasized the importance of balancing rider safety with public welfare and unforeseen challenges like loose animals and medical emergencies during races. These challenges were highlighted on tough days like Monday and Tuesday, where weather and non-racing incidents tested the management team.
