None.
There are quite a few races left to run. A "normal" schedule has them racing every other day, with several races per day. That gives them enough room to reschedule if it rains. The penultimate Senior TT is always on Saturday, a six lap Superbike race. Let's hope they finish out the week between now and then without incident.
Ben Birchall and his new "monkey" (Ben's brother Tom, the "monkey" over their last ten years of utter domination on the sidecar rig has retired) had an off up on the mountain. Both are fine, but the bike has seen better days. They missed the second sidecar race, but hope to be back for the third. That's been it as far as any incidents.
Last year was one of the worst ever. Six fatalities, including a father/son sidecar team. That was highly unusual, though. Many years in this modern age of The TT go off without a single fatality.
