Women to lead the TT Legacy Lap

Hundreds expected to take part in speed-controlled ride-out

Women will be celebrated today for their role in the history, and future, of motorcycling.

The Women Riders World Relay will lead this morning’s TT Legacy Lap (31 May).

Bikers will leave The Grandstand at 9.30am following a one-minute 'sound of thunder'.

People taking part can gather on Glencrutchery Road, in Douglas, from 8.30am.

The speed-controlled ride-out, on open roads, will follow the route of the TT Course.

The WRWR is a global movement create to connect women riders around the world. 

Isle of Man Ambassador Lisa said: "Women Riders World Relay is incredibly proud to lead the 2026 TT Legacy Lap and to see women riders at the front of such an iconic event. 

"The TT has always been about passion, community and respect for the Mountain Course and this year’s Legacy Lap is a chance to celebrate all of those things together. 

"Seeing women at the front of the convoy sends a powerful message that motorcycling is for everyone and reflects WRWR’s mission to connect women riders around the world, inspire them to be the best they can be, and challenge perceptions of what women riders can achieve. 

"We are honoured to help lead this special moment on the Isle of Man.”  

The Legacy Lap began as a tribute, originally known as the Simon Andrews Lap, introduced in memory of Simon Andrews. 

Over the years it has grown into an opportunity for the TT community to commemorate the legacy of many people, memories and machines that have helped shape road racing on the Isle of Man.
