        The second day of 2022 Tourist Trophy practice was brought to a premature halt with a red flag following an incident through the Laurel Bank section. The rider involved in the crash was Sam West, his bike catching fire and West immediately transferred to Noble's Hospital. The BMW rider is in a stable condition and has sustained hand and leg injuries that will not require a lengthy recovery, but the fire forced the organisers to suspend activity and cancel the subsequent sidecar practice session. West: &ldquo;I can be back for the Senior TT&rdquo;  &ldquo;Yesterday didn&rsquo;t go to plan, as I was going really fast and was lying sixth among the Superbikes when, coming out of Laurel Bank, I ran wide and suffered a highside&rdquo;, explains the Street Diner Racing rider on social media. &ldquo;It was my mistake, caused by a desire to break away from some slower riders ahead, but unfortunately the bike caught fire and the session was suspended. I&rsquo;m sorry for the sidecar guys, who couldn&rsquo;t even make one lap&rdquo;. West remains optimistic and is already considered a flash return: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have any particularly serious injuries and hope to be back in shape soon. There are still 10 days to go before the Senior TT, so if I can find a bike, I might be able to race. In the meantime, I want to thank everyone who has been worried about me, I appreciate all the fantastic support&rdquo;.

Sam crashed through the Laurel Bank section on day two of practice but reassures the fans: &ldquo;I was going fast, I&rsquo;ll try to return in time for the Senior TT&rdquo;

Accident for West at the TT: “It was my mistake, I want to get back on the bike”

        A few days ago, John McGuinness was at Windsor Castle receiving his MBE for &ldquo;services to motorcycle racing&rdquo;. On the same day, the 50-year Brit also spoke about the upcoming 2022 edition of the Tourist Trophy2, in which he will compete with team Honda Racing UK. &ldquo;It will be a special edition for many reasons, as I&rsquo;ll turn 50 before heading to the Isle of Man, I&rsquo;ll line up for my 100th start and it&rsquo;s also the 30th anniversary of the Fireblade with which I&rsquo;ll race&rdquo;, explains McPint. &ldquo;The reason I want to go back to the TT once more is because I really want to finish with a good result;&nbsp;I don&rsquo;t want to round out my career with a technical problem like in 2019. This will probably be my last Tourist Trophy as a rider&rdquo;. McPint: &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll all be a little anxious as we return to the Island&rdquo;  One added risk comes in the form of the Mountain Course, back after a two-year absence owing to the pandemic, but the 23-time winner is well aware of this: &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll definitely all be a little anxious, riding there for the first time after a two-year break. The bikes will be more competitive than ever, the rider level will be high and we&rsquo;ll have a lot of attention on us, but once the race starts we&rsquo;ll all be pushing to the max, because that&rsquo;s our job at the end of the day&rdquo;. Translated by Heather Watson MotoGP, Hernandez: &ldquo;the RC213V won&rsquo;t be perfect, but Marquez can win&rdquo;       

The road-racing legend, who is now a Member of the Order of the British Empire, has admitted that this year&rsquo;s TT may well be his last: &ldquo;I want to round out my career with a good result&rdquo;

TT 2022, McGuinness: “It could be my last edition as a rider”

        Previously known as the &ldquo;Diamond Race&rdquo;, the Isle of Wight road race should have taken place in October 2021, having been presented in July 2020. But due to both the pandemic, which has seen the cancellation of various events, and some bureaucratic issued, the race was unable to go ahead. Everything appeared in place for the 2022 edition, announced almost one year ago, but again there will be no race. The reasons again come down to bureaucracy as, despite the race application having been submitted to the Island&rsquo;s council during October, it has still not been approved due to technical concerns. The Isle of Wight Road Race, now postponed until 2023, will see riders compete on a 19-kilometre track that weaves through the towns of Brighstone, Chale and Shorwell. It&rsquo;s been nicknamed &ldquo;the Southern TT&rdquo; in that the riders will race against the clock, just as they do in the famous road race on the Isle of Man. The organisation: &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll work to announce new dates as soon as possible&rdquo;  Event promotor James Kaye provides more details: &ldquo;Our Motor Race Order application was submitted on time to the Isle of Wight Council on 19 October 2021, but has not yet been determined". "We hoped to be able to run the race at another time but the calendar is very full and so it won't be possible. We&rsquo;re therefore forced to postpone the first edition of the Isle of Wight race until 2023 and will work to announce new dates as soon as possible. In the meantime, we would like to thank all the fans for their continued enthusiasm and encouragement. We look forward to seeing them trackside for the first edition of this great event.&rdquo; Translated by Heather Watson MotoAmerica, Petrucci prepares with a test at Portim&atilde;o       

Once again, the road race that looked as if it could be &ldquo;the TT of the south&rdquo; has been delayed until next year and here&rsquo;s why, according to promoter James Kaye

Isle of Wight Road Race: the reason for its postponement

        The Tourist Trophy is ready to return. After a two-year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the organisers of the famous Isle of Man race are already hard at work planning the next editions, which will see some significant changes in 2022-2023. Live TV coverage  The biggest change regards TV coverage. Up until the 2019 edition, it was only possible to follow the live timing with the related radio coverage and then watch highlights after the event, but as of next year the world&rsquo;s most famous races against the clock will be broadcast live, free of charge, on the channels of the Tourist Trophy itself, as was the case with the first edition of the Virtual TT. An addition that removes some of the appeal of the TT, followed closely by stalwart fans with their "pen and paper&rdquo;, but one that will open the event up to a wider audience. Technical revolution for Lightweights and Sidecars  There will also be some regulatory changes in 2022, particularly for the Lightweight and Sidecar classes. The first will undergo a name change, becoming the Supertwins category, with manufacturers having more freedom to make modifications, and more bikes permitted to enter, including the brand-new Yamaha R7 and the Aprilia RS660. As for the Sidecars, engine power will increase significantly. Until last year, the category used 600cc Supersport engines but from 2022, the engine size will be boosted to 900cc and so we can expect the lap record to be convincingly smashed. Ten races as of 2023  Lastly, as of the 2023 edition, the number of races will increase from eight to ten, with the introduction of a second Superstock and Supertwins race, in line with the Supersport and Sidecar classes, as well as the Superbike and the Senior TT race. This will also mean more race days overall, six rather than four. Translated by Heather Watson MotoGP Germany, Rossi keen to re-emerge at the Sachsenring       

After a two-year absence due to Covid, the world&rsquo;s most exciting race is ready to return with new regulations, TV coverage and more races on the schedule

Tourist Trophy: significant changes afoot in 2022-2023

        The 2020-2021 period will be remembered for its lack of road racing events and, above all, no Tourist Trophy, cancelled both years owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the organisers of the prestigious Isle of Man race have not lost heart and are already hard at work planning the 2022 edition, which will also see some changes in terms of the schedule. New practice schedule  The week spanning the end of May and the beginning of June will, as always, be dedicated to practice, as well as some laps at controlled speeds for the newcomers (one of whom will be Glenn Irwin) and open mixed sessions across the various categories, with an additional afternoon session on Sunday 29 May and Friday 3 June. However, the practice will only determine the starting positions for riders in twenty-first place and lower, as the top twenty line up according to the number on their fairings, assigned by the organisers before the event. Race week  The races will run from Saturday 4 to Friday 10 June, on alternate days and with two races per day, starting with Superbike and concluding, as always, with the Senior TT. Here, the complete schedule: 4 June: Superbike and Sidecar Race 1 6 June: Supersport Race 1 and Superstock 8 June: Lightweight and Supersport Race 2 10 June: Sidecar Race 2 and Senior TT Translated by Heather Watson Road Races, Michael Dunlop: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve learned to live with tragedy&rdquo;       

After two years without races owing to the pandemic, the organisers of the world&rsquo;s most important road race are already working on next year&rsquo;s edition, the dates of which have already been published

Road Races: the Tourist Trophy starts planning its 2022 edition

        2020 was a disappointing year for Road Race enthusiasts, Cookstown 100 and the Scarborough races the sole events to take place, while the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was cancelled for only the third time in more than one hundred years. But in 2021, the much-loved island is ready to host the world&rsquo;s oldest road race once more. Qualifying from 30 May to 4 June  The pivotal event of the road racing season will play out, as usual, between late May and early June, with many testing days followed by a week of racing that culminates on the Friday with the Senior TT, the grand finale, where riders are often able to record incredible lap times around the 60km Mountain Course. Qualifying will take place from Sunday 30 May to Friday 4 June. Sessions that nevertheless only determine the starting positions for those in 21st place and below, seeing as the top twenty will start according to a pre-assigned order based on the number on their fairing. In recent seasons, local hero Conor Cummins has started first, the rider set to attend once again with the team Padgett Honda. Races from 5 to 11 June  The racing week will run from Saturday 5 to Friday 11 June, with races on alternate days. On day one it&rsquo;s Superbike, while the Senior TT rounds out the week following the Supersport races, two Sidecar races, the Superstock 1000 and the Lightweight, which has a new technical regulation for 2021 There will be no TT Zero for electric bikes though. The experimental category, created in 2010 from the ashes &nbsp;of the TTXGP, should return in 2022 after a two-year break, in the hope of a longer entry list after barely a dozen riders competed in recent seasons, dominated by the Mugen. Translated by Heather Watson Fatal accidents: track safety can always be improved       

After a 2020 that saw no racing on the Isle of Man, the oldest road race will return next year, running from late May into June
