ISLE OF MAN TT 2025: TODAY’S SCHEDULE, RESULTS, TV CHANNEL AND WEATHER FORECAST
The 103rd running of the Isle of Man TT got under way on Monday as the quickest road racers on the planet take part in motorsport’s fastest and deadliest event.
Poor weather during practice week resulted in the opening races being moved to Monday to allow an additional full-day qualifying session.
Michael Dunlop took his tally of wins to 32 TT victories after taking the spoils in both Supersport races as well as the first Supertwin race. Last year he became the most successful rider in history, overtaking his uncle, Joey Dunlop, at the top of the wins table.
Dunlop is the favourite to clean up this year, however, the newly dubbed ‘Big Four’ will be back down to three this week, with 14-time TT winner Peter Hickman ruled out after suffering a 140mph crash last Friday that caused chest, back, arm and facial injuries.
Hickman and Davey Todd had been at a significant disadvantage this year after they split from the highly successful FHO Racing team, going it alone with the creation of their own 8TEN Racing – named after their TT start numbers – just three months out from the event.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Isle of Man TT.

Who are the favourites?
With 29 wins to his name, three more than any other rider, Michael Dunlop is the man many are expecting to set the pace in 2025. However, it has not all been smooth sailing for the Ballymoney rider, as he has switched from the Honda CBR1000RR that brought him victory in the 2023 Superbike TT to the BMW M1000RR in an effort to dominate all solo categories throughout the week. Dunlop also suffered from effects of a crash at the North West 200 earlier this month, although he appeared to shake them off and claim three wins.
Hickman and Todd shared the superbike spoils last year by winning the Superbike TT and Senior TT respectively, though both have suffered teething issues since starting their own team this year and Todd has revealed they have a back-up plan to run the Superstock bike – a production-based machine that theoretically should be marginally slower than the Superbike – if they cannot find a set-up that works in practice.
That could play into the hands of Harrison, who is the most settled of the ‘Big Four’ riders as he returns with the Honda Racing team having also enjoyed a competitive North West 200 meet. Another contender who could come into contention is Ian Hutchinson, the first man to win five TTs in one week, who claimed a joyous podium finish at the North West 200 having gone through the ordeal of more than 40 operations on his leg over the course of the last 15 years and recovering from a stroke.
John McGuinness will lead the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races away from the No 1 spot as he continues at the age of 53, while in the Supertwin category Mike Browne will be one to watch after podium-finishes in the last two years – Browne will also replace Jamie Coward at the KTS Racing team for the 1000cc races after Coward suffered injuries at the North West 200.
How many riders have died at the TT?
The TT attracts so much attention largely because of the risk and danger it poses, providing an adrenaline fix for riders and fans watching. Over the course of 117 years since the inaugural TT in 1907, 156 riders have died while racing at the TT, and 270 riders have lost their lives on the Mountain Course when the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT are also considered. In both 1970 and 2022 six riders were killed, making them the two deadliest years in the event’s history.
What is the weather forecast?
The delays seen through qualifying week look set to continue. Unsettled weather is expected over the next few days with strong-to-gale force winds resulting in the Mountain Road remaining closed on Monday night.
Organisers have also warned those watching on the island to ensure that belongings are secured to prevent them from being blown on to the track during races.
However, brighter skies are forecast as the week progresses although there is a chance of rain on Friday and Saturday that may impact the back-end of the schedule.
