2025 Isle of Man TT: Monday 2 June Races as it happened

Recap Monday 2 June at the 2025 Isle of Man TT

The opening race day of the 2025 Isle of Man TT takes place today (Monday 2 June), with three races scheduled to go ahead. 

Racing was due to begin on Saturday 31 May with the opening Supersport TT, but numerous weather interruptions across qualifying week led to a major schedule change. 

Race action will now begin two days later than planned on Monday, with the Superbike TT returning to its slot as race week opener - something that hasn't happened since 2022. 

It has been shortened to four laps from six to accommodate the packed three-race programme for Monday. The Superbike race will be followed by the first Sidecar race of the week, with the first Supersport contest set to conclude the day's action. 

The three-lap Supersport TT was due to be the curtain-raiser for TT 2025 on Saturday.

Monday 2 June schedule:

  • Superbike TT - 12:00 BST (4 laps)
  • Sidecar TT 1 - 2pm BST (2 laps)
  • Supersport TT 1 - 15:00 (3 laps)

15:08

Just over five minutes to go till Supersport 1.

15:01

Supersports are being called to the startline. 

14:58

So, we are due to get the first Supersport race of TT 2025 now. But I think we're in for a small delay while the Sidecar podium is finished.

14:38
Sidecar TT 1 - Chequered flag

The Crowe brothers dominate the Sidecar 1 race and set a new lap record of 121.021mph! 

14:36

Crowe lead up to 70.633s at the Bungalow. 

14:32

The Birchall outfit is pretty safe in second now, 8.264s over Crawford/Hardie.

14:31

The Crowes are well through Ramsey now and are 62.293s clear of second now. Utterly dominant.

14:31

Blackstock/Lawrence have stopped to make adjustments. 

14:30

Todd Ellis/Emmanuelle Clement are now up to fourth and 10.5s clear of fifth with Blackstock/Lawrence seemingly out.

14:29

The Birchall/Rosney outfit is 6.4s clear of Crawford/Hardie in second, while Blackstock/Lawrence appear to have gone missing before Ballaugh.

14:28

We're through Ballaugh, with the Crowes heading for an all-time Sidecar lap record here. 

They are now 54.397s clear in the lead now.

14:26

That battle for second is going the Birchall outfit's way now, 4.706s in hand over third at Glen Helen.

14:25

At the Glen Helen split, the Crowes are 45.619s clear of Birchall/Rosney, while Crawford/Hardies have jumped Blackstock/Lawrence for third. 

14:24

New sector record for the Crowes through Glen Helen. So, that probably answers my previous question!

14:24

The thing to watch now with the Crowes is whether they ease it off now or they push for a lap record. It'll go today if they want it.

14:21

Birchall/Rosney have extended their advantage in second over Blackstock/Lawrence to 2.466s. 

14:20
Sidecar TT 1 - Lap2/2

The Crowes have started lap two 36.242s up the road from Birchall/Rosney.

Opening lap of 119.418mph from a standing start!

14:16

At the Bungalow, the Crowes are 32.442s clear in the lead as Birchall/Rosney open up a 1.876s to third.

14:13

Lee Crawford and Scott Hardie are not far off this podium fight in fourth, 2.685s off. 

14:13

The Crowes have extended their lead to 25.437s over Birchall/Rosney, who have gone back up to second by 0.249s over Blackstock/Lawrence. Good battle for second here.
