The mystery surrounding the delayed start to yesterday evening's TT practice session appears to have been solved.
Manx Radio has been told a member of the public fell and broke an ankle.
A doctor felt the man should go to hospital as he had suffered shock.
He was air-lifted by helicopter, from Ballaugh, and race organisers had to wait until the aircraft became available again, before practising could get under way.
