Veteran Isle of Man TT racer Michael Rutter is reported 💃as “stable” in hospi🦩tal after suffering a crash on the final lap of Friday’s Supertwin race.

The Bathams Racing rider, who made his TT debut in 1994, returned to the Isle of Man t♎o compete once more at the event this year.

However, 53-year-old Rutter elected to scale back his🐟 competition to just the Su♒pertwin class.

He finished 10th in the opening Supertwin race on his Yamaha, but crashed ♔on the final lap of Frid✨ay’s contest for the class at the 31st Milestone.

Rutter was taken to Nobles Hospital for checks but was reported by Bathams on Friday night as being “cౠonscious, breathing and stable”.

“During💙 the third and final lap of the Supertwin Race earlier today at the Isle of Man TT, Bathams AJN Racing rider Michael Rutter fell at the 31st Milestone,” a team statement read following the seven-time TT winners accident.

“We can confirm that Rutter is conscious, b🍸reathing and ඣthat his condition is stable.

“At present, ꧟he is undergoing scans and observations at the Noble’s hospital to determine what if any injuries he may or may nꦿot have.

“Further details will follow.

“Meanwhile, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the marshals and medical staff on the scene whꦅo t🎃ook care of Michael, plus the paramedics and medical staff at Noble’s hospital.”

Rutter intended to scale back his own racing exploitsꦐ at the TT to better help support his rider Craig Neve’s campaign in the other classes.

H🦩owever, a crash at the North West 200 ruled Nev𒊎e out of the event.

Jamie Cringle was drafted ℱin as a last-minute replacement at the Bathams Racing squad to take Neve’s place.

His best result of the event♓ so far was a 17th in theღ opening Superbike TT on Monday.

The 2025 TT is due to conclude on Saturday with the Senior TT finale, though overnight rain and forecast showers for this morning have already push♔ed the schedule 🅰back at least two hours.
