2026 Isle of Man TT LIVE: Senior TT updates

Live coverage from the 2026 Isle of Man TT Senior TT, the final of three races scheduled for 5 June

Live updates from the Senior TT at the 2026 Isle of Man TT which is due to start at 18:15 local time.

The Senior is set to be the fifth 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 only the Supersport class that got a race in, and even that over a reduced three-lap distance. 

Supersport and Sportbike have both already raced today, with Michael Dunlop winning on both occasions. Both races were reduced in distance, as is the Senior TT which will run over four laps instead of the usual six. 

Dean Harrison won the Superbike TT earlier in the week. The Senior TT hasn't run since 2024, when Davey Todd won. Todd is out injured this year, so the most recent Senior TT winner to be lining up this evening is Peter Hickman, who won in 2023.

Harrison and Hickman both joined Dunlop on the podium earlier today in Supersport Race 2, while it was Mike Browne and Paul Jordan in the Sportbike race.

A win this evening in the Senior in would mark Dunlop's 37th TT win, and would make him the first rider to ever win three TTs in a day.

The schedule was been delayed by one hour this morning as a result of a road traffic collision on the mountain road. Another delay was forced ahead of the Sportbike race due to a "non-racing operational matter", according to the Isle of Man TT.

Lap 2 - Glen Helen

Still just 0.2s between Jordan and Browne - in Jordan's favour. 

Dunlop now over 20s clear at the front.

Just to confirm, by the way, 123.637mph lap from Dunlop on the first lap is a lap record.

16:19
Lap 1 - Grandstand

Jordan is ahead of Browne at the end of lap one by 0.122s. One lap to go in this reduced race - no pit stops, of course.

Dunlop 17.5s clear at the front.

Michael Evans being reported as down at the Bradden dip. Reported as conscious and talking and being taken to Noble's hospital.

16:17

Hickman still falling back, 14s back now from Jordan.

16:13
Lap 1 - Ramsey

Dunlop now 11s clear of Browne, who has pulled a little more margin over Jordan - 2.2s between them now.

Jordan now almost 10s clear of Hickman, who seems to be having problem with the fuel cap on his Yamaha R7.

16:10
Lap 1 - Ballaugh

Eight seconds now for Dunlop. It seems fair to say already that only a mechanical could cost him this one - they've happened before, in fairness.
