Veteran Isle of Ma꧒n TT racer Michael Rutter is reported as “stable” in hospital after suffering a crash on the final lap of Friday’s Supertwin ra𓄧ce.

The Bathams Racing rider, who made his TT debut in 1⛎994, returned to the Isle of Man to compete once more at🐻 the event this year.

However, 53-year-old Rutter elected to scale back his competition to just the Supertwin clไass.

He finished 10th in the opening Supertwin race o💝n his Yamaha, but crashed on the final lap of Friday’s contest for the class at the 31st Mileston💞e.

Rutter was taken to Nobles Hospital for checks but was reported by Bathams on Fri🐻day night as being “conscious, 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.

ಞ“We can confirm that Rutter is conscious, breathi💞ng and that his condition is stable.

“At presen♚t, he is undergoing scans and observations at the Noble’s h🔯ospital 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 med🍰ical staff on the scene who took care of Michael, plus the paramedics and medical staff at Noble’s hospital.”

Rutter inteꩲnded to scale back his own racing exploits at the TT to better help support his rider Cr𝄹aig Neve’s campaign in the other classes.

However, a cra🐲sh at the North West 200 ruled Neve out🅘 of the event.

Jamie Cringle was drafted in as a last-minute replacement at the Bathams Racing squad to take Neve’s p🦹lace.

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 schedu𝔍le back at least twoꦗ hours.
