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

The Bath🐷ams Racing rider, who made his TT debut in 1994, returned to the Isle of Man to compete once more at the e🏅vent this year.

H💛owever,😼 53-year-old Rutter elected to scale back his competition to just the Supertwin class.

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

Rutt𒅌er was taken to Nobles Hospital for checks but wa🐓s reported by Bathams on Friday night as being “conscious, breathing and stable”.

“During the third and final lap of the Supert🎶win 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 ca🅺n confirm that Rutter is conscious, breathing an꧒d that his condition is stable.

“At present, he is undergoing scans and observations at the Noble’s hosp💙ital to determine what if any ✅injuries he may or may not have.

“Further details will follow.

“Meanwhile, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the marshals and medic💦al staff on the scene who took c🔯are of Michael, plus the paramedics and medical staff at Noble’s hospital.”

Rutter in𓃲tended to scale back his own racing exploits at the TT to b𒉰etter help support his rider Craig Neve’s campaign in the other classes.

However, a crash at the North West 200 ruled Neve outꦉ of the event.

Jamie Cringle was drafted in 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 the 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 pushed the 𒐪schedule back at least two hours.
