New format was announced earlier this week
A sidecar TT competitor has described the updated 2026 schedule as 'a positive one'.
This week, organisers announced an increase in rest days and contingency sessions, the introduction of a 'Sportbike' class and the switching around of the race running order.
Stephen Kershaw, who made his debut this year, says the extra contingency will help when weather conditions are bad.
He added he's already looking ahead to next year:
