Isle of Man TT winners taken to hospital after sidecar incident

Isle of Man TT organisers have confirmed that Ryan Crowe and Callum Crowe were involved in a red-flagged incident during qualifying three for the Sidecar TT, which took place on Wednesday evening. 

The two brothers arrived at this year’s TT as the pre-race favourites after winning the 2025 Sidecar TT. Ryan and Callum Crowe are also the current lap record holders.

Wednesday’s incident occurred at Crosby during the opening lap of Sidecar Qualifying 3, which was the final track session of the day.

The pair are reported to be conscious and talking following their accident, although they were both taken to Noble’s Hospital by ambulance.

A statement from TT organisers said this about the incident and the condition of the sidecar duo: 

“A red flag was issued due to an incident at Crosby involving sidecar outfit number 1, Ryan Crowe and Callum Crowe, who came off during the first lap of the third qualifying session. Ryan's condition is currently reported as conscious and talking, and he has been taken to Noble's Hospital by ambulance for further assessment of injuries.

“Passenger, Callum's condition is reported as conscious and talking, and he has been taken to Noble's Hospital by ambulance for further assessment of injuries. A separate incident also occurred earlier on in the session at Doran's Bend. A further update will be issued in due course.”

The incident for Ryan and Callum Crowe comes one day after Maria Costello was also involved in an incident during a sidecar session. Her current condition is “serious but stable”.

There will be no TT action today (Thursday, 28 May) as all competitors have a rest day ahead of the final qualifying sessions of the 2026 TT on Friday. Racing will then begin on Saturday, 30 May.
