TT 2022: Sam West hoping to get back on a bike for the Senior

Rider crashed at Laurel Bank during Monday's practice

The TT rider who crashed last night, putting an end to the first session, says he's not too badly injured and is hoping to get back on a bike for the Senior.

Sam West came off at Laurel Bank, shortly before 8pm, suffering injuries to his hand and leg.

He was airlifted to hospital - the session had to be red-flagged due to his bike catching fire.

Sam has apologised to the sidecar racers who missed their laps after the evening session was cancelled.

He says he hopes everyone gets good track time this evening and has thanked well-wishers for the support.
