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
19:39
Hickman is finally heading out on that Trooper Triumph.
19:36
We won't see John McGuinness again this evening. He's not doing Supertwin or Supersport this year.
19:33
Dunlop still fastest of the Supersport bikes through Ramsey. Hopefully he carries on for a flying lap and we can see what the Ducati can really do.
Its debut last year with Davey Todd saw the V2 Panigale get two podiums.
19:28
Not too many Supertwin bikes on track right now. Baz Furber leads the times through Glen Helen.
19:28
Michael Dunlop has gone through Glen Helen in 4m30.156s on his MD Racing Ducati Supersport bike.
That V2 Panigale is a full World Supersport-spec machine and the bike that won the world title last year with Adrian Huertas. Dunlop has two of those bikes available to him this week.
19:22
Supertwin/Supersport class is underway now.
Michael Rutter led the field out on his Supertwin machine, which is the only bike he'll race this year.
19:21

Chequered flag - Superbike/Superstock
The chequered flag is out on this first qualifying session at TT 2025, but there are still bikes on track and will be for a little while yet.
Dean Harrison will end this session fastest with a 133.069mph.
In five minutes, Supersport and Supertwin bikes will be allowed onto the course for their session.
19:14
With a minute to go, McGuinness is heading out for another lap on his Superbike.
19:14
Mitchell Rees is doing a good job as a newcomer so far. He's just put in a 121.809mph on his Superstock machine.
19:13
Just a couple of minutes left in this session.
19:13
Hutchinson heads back out on the MLav Racing BMW stocker.
He's pretty much running the stocker for both classes this year by the sounds of it.
19:12
Dunlop completes his first Superbike lap at 129.975mph, so slightly slower than his single lap on the Superstock bike.
19:11
Ian Hutchinson is complaining of being too low on his Superstock bike, but he's relatively happy with how the bike is going.
19:10
Dean Harrison on his Superbike: "Yeah, honestly we made some changes from yesterday and it's improved the bike a little. I still feel like there's a lot to go, there's places where I'm rolling and I need to be full gas. We'll just improve it again for tomorrow. I'll park that now, get a lap on the stocker, see what that is like, which will be a good reference with the set-ups we've got because they are very similar."
19:08
Todd completes a lap at 131.231mph on his stocker.
19:06
10 minutes left in this session. Probably another lap in everyone before pitlane closes for the Superbikes/Superstocks.
19:04
Harrison completes his second lap at 133.069mph, which is really impressive given the general lack of proper dry running we've had so far.
He's now coming in.
18:59
Dunlop looks really planted on that BMW Superbike on this first lap. Let's see what the lap s, but this looks like it will be a good one.
18:54
Dunlop is on course on his Superbike.
18:52
Hickman is back in after one lap at 129.663mph. Maybe not too happy on his Superbike after that first lap.
18:50
Dunlop is, in fact, back into pits. All pretty calm looking as his team begins to prepare his WSBK-spec BMW Superbike.
18:49
Todd has carried on for a second lap. Dunlop looks to have come back into pitlane - his team are expecting him, at least.
18:48
Michael Dunlop's first lap on the stocker is a 130.387mph, while David Johnson has done a 127.238mph on his Superbike. Todd a 130.667mph on his stocker.
