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)

The Crowes are through Ballaugh and are 20 seconds clear! And they've just set a sector record. 

Blackstock/Rosney are 0.318s ahead of Birchall/Rosney now.

14:07

Lewis Blackstock and Oscar Lawrence are up to third, 0.143s behind the Birchall outfit.

14:06

Through Glen Helen, Ryan and Callum Crowe are 11.367s ahead of Birchall/Patrick Rosney. Wow!

14:00

Ben Birchall's outfit is next on the road due to Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley being out due to injury from a crash on Sunday.

14:00
Sidecar TT 1 - Start Lap 1/2

The Crowe brothers are on the course for this two-lap Sidecar race. Few are expecting them not to win today.

13:57

Just three minutes until the start of the Sidecar TT. 

The Crowe brothers will set off first on the road. Could we see the lap record go in this one?

13:46

The first Sidecar race of the week should be going in 15 minutes. 

It's been shortened to two laps.

Superbike TT - Chequered flag

Davey Todd wins a tense four-lap Superbike TT on 8TEN Racing's debut. 

He beats Michael Dunlop by just 1.296s. Dunlop did a final lap of 135.416mph.

Dean Harrison completes the podium, 43.5s behind Dunlop. 

13:08

Lead at Cronk has increased slightly for Todd. This looks done. 

13:08

Big shame for Herberston who was having a hell of a ride. 

13:07
Retirement - Dom Herbertson

Dom Herbertson is being reported as a retirement. Sounds like a crash but he is said to be ok.

13:06

At the Bungalow, Todd's lead is back to 2.285s over Dunlop. Going to need a massive end to this lap from Dunlop to overhaul Todd now.

13:03

We're at Ramsey now. Todd's lead has come down slightly to 1.904s. 

13:02

Todd has led every single split in this race.

13:01
Retirement - Shaun Anderson

Shaun Anderson is reported as out of this race. 

13:00

At Ballaugh, Todd's lead is back to 2.2s. So, that moment for Dunlop has been costly.

12:59

Dunlop has gotten past Harrison on the road at Rhencullen section. That may have cost him.

12:58
Retirement - Ian Hutchinson

Hutchy is out in the pits with a broken seat on his BMW.

12:57

At Glen Helen on the final lap, Todd leads but by nothing! The gap is only 0.269s. Dunlop is pushing!
