Tom Weeden has e♕xplained his Isle of Man TT💙 crash and listed his injuries from his hospital bed.

Weeden crashed on Friday at Glen Hജelen and was airlifted to hospital with back, leg and ankle injuries.

From his hospital bed, he wrote: “Not the best end to Isle of Man TT Races 2025 but these🎀 things happen. I knew the risks, I took the risks and now have tಞo race to get fit and back on a bike again soon as possible! I will be back…

“Been a rollercoaster couple of days, but the good n💦ews is I’m OK and still have a fꦐoot attached to my leg.

“Incredibly lucky to be here and in the condition I am in - you’ll see from the video [] I went underneath the barriers and hit the wall feet✤ first.

“Somehow o🦹nly ‘walked away’ with left leg tib / fib, dislocated and smashed up ankle on right leg, broken T12 vertebrae, broken hand and a messed up little 🅘finger. I feel extremely lucky to be here at all.”

Weeden explained how he crashed: “Clipped the wall on the exit, bent the bar and it jammed the throttle wide open, it ripp💜ed me backwards and sent the bike into a wheelie heading straight towards the barrier.

“I cannot thank all the marshals, medics, air med pilots and everyone at Noble’s Hospital enough for everythinไg!

“My ankle has been externally fixated for the time being until the sofཧt tissue is repaired and can be properly pinned / plated. It wasn’t a nice sight seeing my leg through the side of my boot I can tellꦆ you.

“Massive shout out to Held Rider Equipment LS2✅ Helmets UK and Knox for keeping me as safꦜe as possible under the circumstances.

“Thank you so much for ♎all the mes𓆏sages and support - it really is appreciated.”
