2025 Isle of Man TT: Wednesday qualifying updates as they happened

Updates from Wednesday evening's practice at the 2025 Isle of Man TT as they happened.

The 2025 Isle of Man TT continues on Wednesday 28 May with the third day of practice and the first official day of timed qualifying. 

The 2025 edition of the Isle of Man TT began on Monday, but poor weather meant only one lap for the newcomers was completed before running was abandoned. 

Better weather allowed a full evening of running to take place on Tuesday, though this was all untimed free practice to make up for lost track action on Monday. 

Wednesday will see the first official timed laps of the 2025 Isle of Man TT completed as the first qualifying runs for the Superstock, Superbike, Supersport, Supertwin and Sidecar classes takes place. 

The Wednesday 28 May TT practice schedule is as follows:

  • 18:30 - Superbike, Superstock
  • 19:20 - Supersport, Supertwin
  • 20:10 - Sidecar
28 May 2025
21:02

That's all from us for this evening. 

Qualifying is due to continue from 18:30 on Thursday evening. Join us from then for more live coverage of the 2025 Isle of Man TT. 

Until then, thanks for your company!

Ryan and Callum Crowe complete a lap at 118.797mph, which is a big statement from a standing start. 

 

20:28

Session will be ended at the end of this lap due to the mist coming in. So, just one lap for the Sidecars tonight.

20:26

Getting quite misty over the mountain with about 25 minutes left in this session. 

20:26

The leading Sidecars are on the mountain section now, so we'll be getting our first laps in soon.

20:25

Peter Hickman hasn't finished the run from Cronk ny Mona to the Grandstand on his sole Supertwin lap.

No information as to why yet.

20:24

20:06
Chequered flag - Supersport/Supertwin

The Supersport/Supertwin session has come to an end. 

Michael Dunlop will finish Supersport fastest with a 127.181mph. 

With chequered flag out, unlikely we'll see Rob Hodson's 118.832mph in Supertwin topped. 

20:03

Davey Todd has gone up to third in Supersport at 124.238mph. He's now out on his Supertwin now.

20:02
Crash - Gerald Dath

Reports of a crash for Gerald Dath at the Bungalow section. He is ok. Was out on his Supersport bike.

20:01

Dunlop is also out for a lap on his Paton Supertwin.

20:00

Hickman is jumping on his Yamaha Supertwin now for a lap. Just over five minutes left in this session. 

19:59

In Supertwin, Rob Hodson has gone fastest with a 118.832mph. 

19:58

Hickman has gone up to third on the Triumph at 124.085mph. 

19:58

Dunlop puts in a 127.181mph lap on his Ducati second time around. 

He's come in now. Harrison has carried on for another lap, which isn't surprising given he doesn't have a Supertwin this year.

19:52

Dunlop's Ducati tops the speed traps at 176mph. Harrison was clocked at 170.282mph.

19:51

Dean Harrison has gone fastest in Supersport with a 125.65mph, so not much between the Honda and the Ducati of Dunlop right now after first laps from a standing start.

19:50

Stefano Bonetti has gone top in Supertwin with a 116.579mph. 

19:49

Dean Harrison is on a strong first lap on his Honda Supersport bike. On course to jump Dunlop. 

Harrison, of course, has been racing the Supersport class in BSB this year. So, he could well be best-placed to take the fight to Dunlop this year on those bikes.

19:47

First laps in the Supersport class have Dunlop at 125.472mph, from Paul Jordan at 123.742mph, Mike Browne at 122.915mph, James Hind at 122.584mph and Shaun Anderson at 120.836mph.

19:41

Baz Furber leads the Supertwin class with a 116.05mph.
