Not a retirment for Browne, that's just how he's showing on the timing because of his transponder issues.

2026 Isle of Man TT LIVE: Supersport Race 2 updates
Live coverage from the 2026 Isle of Man TT Supersport Race 2, the first of three races scheduled for 5 June
Live updates from Supersport Race 2 at the 2026 Isle of Man TT which is due to start at 12:45 local time. Sportbike Race 1 and the Senior TT are also scheduled for today.
Supersport Race 2 is set to be the third race this week on the Isle of Man after a series of delays that have prevented racing from taking place since Tuesday, when it was also only the Supersport class that got a race in, and even that over a reduced three-lap distance. Today's race will also be only over three laps.
Michael Dunlop won Race 1 in fine style, having a lead of over 20 seconds by the end.
Dean Harrison and Peter Hickman joined Dunlop on the podium on Tuesday, although neither seemed confident of being able to put up a stronger challenge in the second race against the Dunlop-Ducati combination that has won the last three Supersport races.
Dunlop himself has won the last nine Supersport TTs and will be looking for a fourth consecutive Supersport double at the TT today, which would also mark his 35th TT win.
Today's schedule also includes a two-lap Sportbike race and a four-lap Senior TT, although as ever it will be weather-dependent. The schedule has been delayed by one hour today as a result of a road traffic collision on the mountain road this morning.

Race 1 results
15 minutes out now from the Supersport race start. You can check the results from Race 1 here.
12:25
Around 25 minutes out from Supersport Race 2 now. Of course, Michael Dunlop won earlier in the week in this class. A win today would be his 10th in a row in Supersport, a fifth consecutive double in the class. Plus, it would be his 35th TT win across all classes and a fourth consecutive win aboard the Ducati Panigale V2.
12:15
All of the delays and postponements this week means we arrive on Friday having only run two races: Superbike last Sunday and Supersport Race 1 on Tuesday. Both of those classes will get their second race today (the second 'Superbike' race being the Senior, of course), if the weather allows, and Sportbike will also get its first race of the week, with its second scheduled for tomorrow.
11:56
Delayed schedule
So far just the single one-hour delay to today's schedule, which is fairly good going by the standard of this week. It's not even for weather, either, instead a road traffic collision on the mountain road this morning forced a delay of one hour to the road closing time and consequently the whole schedule.
