Rutter sustains spine and leg fractures in TT crash
Seven-time Isle of Man TT winner Michael Rutter has had "a number of fractures" in his spine "stabilised" after a crash in Friday's Supertwin race. The 53-year-old crashed on the third and final lap at the 31st milestone on Friday and was transferred to the Walton Unit at Aintree Hospital in Liverpool. Advertisement A statement on Bathams Racing's Facebook page said "the worst of his injuries have been treated successfully" and he has "already been able to mobilise on his feet". "He suffered a number of fractures in his spine between the L2 and L5 vertebrae," Rutter's team said. "Surgeons have successfully stabilised all the fractures and Michael has already been able to mobilise on his feet. "He requires more surgery in his ankle to repair a further fracture, but for now the worst of his injuries have been treated successfully." Rutter made his Isle of Man TT debut in 1994 and decided to step back from the Superbike and Superstock races for the 2025 event to focus on the Supertwins - the slowest of the four classes at the road race. The Isle of Man TT is an annual road race which takes place on 37.7 miles of closed public roads on the Mountain Course.

Michael Rutter update as veteran race hospitalised following crash at Isle of Man
Michael Rutter is currently "stable" in hospital following a crash on the final lap of Friday's Supertwin race at the Isle of Man TT. The veteran rider, who first competed in the TT back in 1994, decided to limit his competition to just the Supertwin class this time around. Advertisement He secured a 10th place finish in the opening Supertwin race on his Yamaha, but unfortunately crashed on the final lap of Friday's race at the 31st Milestone.

"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," read a team statement after the seven-time TT winner's accident. Advertisement "We can confirm that Rutter is conscious, breathing and that his condition is stable. "He is currently undergoing scans and observations at the Noble's hospital to determine any potential injuries. Further details will follow. "In the meantime, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the marshals and medical staff on the scene who took care of Michael, as well as the paramedics and medical staff at Noble's hospital." Rutter had planned to reduce his own racing activities at the TT to better support his rider Craig Neve's campaign in the other classes. However, Neve was unfortunately sidelined from the event following a crash at last month's North West 200. Advertisement Jamie Cringle was swiftly brought in as an eleventh-hour substitute at the Bathams Racing team to fill Neve's shoes. So far, his top performance at the event has been securing the 17th spot in the opening Superbike TT on Monday. The 2025 TT is set to conclude on Saturday with the Senior TT finale. However, overnight rainfall and predicted morning showers have already caused a minimum two-hour delay in the schedule.
