2025 Isle of Man TT: Historic Victories, Record-Breaking Performances, and Dramatic Weather Challenge

A Milestone Year for Road Racing’s Premier Event

The biggest two weeks of the motorcycling calendar, the event every motorcyclist looks forward to each year, the Isle of Man TT, returned in 2025 with a series of remarkable achievements and unexpected challenges.

Dunlop’s Historic Achievement

Michael Dunlop emerged as the standout performer of the 2025 TT, securing four more victories to bring his impressive total to 33 TT wins. His dominance was particularly evident in both Supersport races and the Supertwin class, where he set a new lap record of 123.056 mph, marking a significant milestone by ending Ducati’s 30-year drought on the Mountain Course.

Other Notable Performances

Dean Harrison demonstrated his prowess by claiming both Superstock race victories for Honda, while Davey Todd achieved a significant milestone with BMW-backed 8TEN Racing, securing his first Superbike TT win. Todd’s strong performance throughout the week suggested he was a serious contender for the cancelled Senior TT.

Weather Drama and Historic Decision

The 2025 event will be remembered for its resilience against unpredictable conditions, culminating in a dramatic weather-driven cancellation of the marquee Senior TT. This affected not just the riders and teams, but also the marshals, medical staff, visitors, and local residents who adapt their daily routines when their regular roads transform into the world’s most remarkable motorbike race.

Looking Ahead

Despite the weather challenges, the event proved unforgettable for the tens of thousands of enthusiasts who arrived by plane and ferry, with bikes and tents in tow. The 2026 Isle of Man TT is already confirmed for May 25 – June 6, promising another chapter in this legendary racing event.
