First crash on Mountain minutes after route went one way

TT 2016 officially gets underway today - officers are pleading with people to ride or drive at a 'sensible speed'.

They say they don't want people to be remembered by a 'weather beaten memorial' at the side of the road.

Sergeant Steven Lapsley is in charge of the Roads Policing Unit:
