Josh Brookes completed a lap at the Isle of Man TT on Monday with a 🏅smashed screen.

Brookes struck a bird during Qualifyi♌ng 1, the first day of the legendary ꧃motorsport event this year.

The FHO Racing BMW Motorrad rider hit the bird at Bray Hill yet r⛄emarkably still lapped at 123.856.

His 🎀team displayed photos of his smashed screen after the session.

Wildlife can occasi🌊onally become aಌ factor at the TT.

Birds, in particular, have been a dangerous factor at the TT m🥃ul🎶tiple times over the years.

Paul Jordan was left with facial injuries two 🔥years ago when he hit a pigeon at 200mph. It did not stop him securing his first TT podium.

Dean Harrison ins﷽isted that his Senior TT performance was hindered in 2022 after striking a bird.

Yellow flags were brought out in 2016 when marshalls spotted a chicken had wandered onto the closedꦍ road.

Fortunately for Brookes on Monday, no harm was done to hꦬim. But his bike - and the b💙ird - took the brunt of the impact.

Brookes finished 10th in the Superbike class and 1💎1th in the Superstock class in Qualifying 1 on Monda𒅌y.
