The third qualifying session of the 2025 Isle of Man TT Races commenced at 18:30 on Friday evening. With a combined session duration of 1 hour and 20 minutes for the Superbike, Superstock, and Supersport classes, all competitors were expected to get ample track time.
Dean Harrison led the field away on his Honda Racing Superbike, followed by Peter Hickman on his Superstock machine. They were trailed by David Johnson (Superbike), Ian Hutchinson, Michael Dunlop, and James Hillier - all on Superstock bikes - and John McGuinness MBE, also riding a Superbike.
As the session unfolded, it was Davey Todd who set the early pace while Harrison led on the road approaching Parliament Square. However, the session was stopped due to a Red Flag just before 18:40.
An update shared shortly before 19:30 confirmed that the red flag was issued following an incident in which Peter Hickman, riding bike number 10, came off at Kerrowmoar.
The update read that Peter was currently reported as conscious and stable, and had been taken to Noble's Hospital by Airmed for further assessment, with further condition updates to be provided in due course.
As riders who had been stopped around the course returned to the paddock, rain began to affect parts of the course. Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson subsequently confirmed the cancellation of the remainder of the session.
The next qualifying session of the 2025 Isle of Man TT Races is scheduled for Saturday 31st May.
