Isle of Man TT organisers introduce important competitor safety initiative
The new initiative, developed in collaboration with the Manx Roadracing Medical Services, aims to improve the physical and mental health of TT riders and enhance the overall safety of the event. The TT is known as one of the most dangerous sporting events globally, with numerous fatalities occurring on the Mountain Course. The event faces scrutiny and negative public opinion, which could hinder its growth and sponsorship opportunities. The ACU has taken various safety measures in recent years, and the new medical standards will involve on-event medical assessments and pre-event guidance to boost rider preparations. The initiative seeks to accurately monitor the health of riders and minimize unnecessary risks, while maintaining the spectacle of the Isle of Man TT races.
