After a couple of serious accidents in practice, injuring competitors, they've decided to ban sidecars for 2026, pity, because it was what I enjoyed most. I can understand why, because they're dangerous, which added to their excitement. I reckon they should only be raced on grand prix type circuits, with large run-off areas. They're an anachronism, much like the Monaco GP.
I understand, that this year, they reduced the maximum carburettor size from 34mm to 27mm, yet they still managed to attain tremendous speeds on a device with all the aerodynamic characteristics of a brick!
The IOM TT is inherently dangerous and I hope it continues.
I've ridden outfits rarely and found them challenging.
I'd like to see the 50cc and 125cc classes return.
