Isle of Man TT 2025: Today's schedule, results, TV channel and weather forecast
The 103rd running of the Isle of Man TT got under way on Monday as the quickest road racers on the planet take part in motorsport's fastest and deadliest event.
Poor weather during practice week resulted in the opening races being moved to Monday to allow an additional full-day qualifying session.
Michael Dunlop took his tally of wins to 32 TT victories after taking the spoils in both Supersport races as well as the first Supertwin race. Last year he became the most successful rider in history, overtaking his uncle, Joey Dunlop, at the top of the wins table.
Dunlop is the favourite to clean up this year, however, the newly dubbed 'Big Four' will be back down to three this week, with 14-time TT winner Peter Hickman ruled out after suffering a 140mph crash last Friday that caused chest, back, arm and facial injuries.

Hickman and Davey Todd had been at a significant disadvantage this year after they split from the highly successful FHO Racing team, going it alone with the creation of their own 8TEN Racing – named after their TT start numbers – just three months out from the event.

Live blogs for the opening Supersport TT, the Superbike TT and Senior TT will also be available from Telegraph Sport.
Who are the favourites?
With 29 wins to his name, three more than any other rider, Michael Dunlop is the man many are expecting to set the pace in 2025. However, it has not all been smooth sailing for the Ballymoney rider, as he has switched from the Honda CBR1000RR that brought him victory in the 2023 Superbike TT to the BMW M1000RR in an effort to dominate all solo categories throughout the week. Dunlop also suffered from effects of a crash at the North West 200 earlier this month, although he appeared to shake them off and claim three wins.
Hickman and Todd shared the superbike spoils last year by winning the Superbike TT and Senior TT respectively, though both have suffered teething issues since starting their own team this year and Todd has revealed they have a back-up plan to run the Superstock bike – a production-based machine that theoretically should be marginally slower than the Superbike – if they cannot find a set-up that works in practice.
That could play into the hands of Harrison, who is the most settled of the 'Big Four' riders as he returns with the Honda Racing team having also enjoyed a competitive North West 200 meet. Another contender who could come into contention is Ian Hutchinson, the first man to win five TTs in one week, who claimed a joyous podium finish at the North West 200 having gone through the ordeal of more than 40 operations on his leg over the course of the last 15 years and recovering from a stroke.
John McGuinness will lead the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races away from the No 1 spot as he continues at the age of 53, while in the Supertwin category Mike Browne will be one to watch after podium-finishes in the last two years – Browne will also replace Jamie Coward at the KTS Racing team for the 1000cc races after Coward suffered injuries at the North West 200.
How many riders have died at the TT?
The TT attracts so much attention largely because of the risk and danger it poses, providing an adrenaline fix for riders and fans watching. Over the course of 117 years since the inaugural TT in 1907, 156 riders have died while racing at the TT, and 270 riders have lost their lives on the Mountain Course when the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT are also considered. In both 1970 and 2022 six riders were killed, making them the two deadliest years in the event's history.
What is the weather forecast?
The delays seen through qualifying week look set to continue. Unsettled weather is expected over the next few days with strong-to-gale force winds resulting in the Mountain Road remaining closed on Monday night.
Organisers have also warned those watching on the island to ensure that belongings are secured to prevent them from being blown on to the track during races.
However, brighter skies are forecast as the week progresses although there is a chance of rain on Friday and Saturday that may impact the back-end of the schedule.

Galal Yafai reveals beatdowns he took from his older champion brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today
GALAL YAFAI reveals the beatdowns he took from his champion older brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today. Yafai grew up as the youngest boxer in the household and admits it was constant civil war at home older siblings Gamal and Kal. 4 4 4 He told SunSport: "My mum would come in screaming and shouting, we'd always end up fighting but I knew my place when you're like ten years old or nine years old. "Two-three years is a big difference. When they were 13-14 years old and I'm only just 10, it's a big jump. So yeah, I knew my position. I used to get beaten up on a little bit!" Despite taking his fair share of brotherly blows, Yafai admits the real wars came between Kal and Gamal. He said: "They were closer in age and I think they felt sorry for me a little bit because I was a little bit smaller than them. "They had the real big fights and my mum used to come out shouting and it was kind of like hillbilly style. It kind of helped us to get where we got to. "Kal was always better than me, Gamal was always bigger and better so I don't think I ever got the better of everyone really. "I could hold my own, well I could hold my own when I got a bit older, but I think they took it easy on me. "But they always helped me anyway, it helped in my career." Yafai trained as a teenager and watched his older brothers become amateur champions - later replicating that success in the professional ranks. The youngest of the pack only began boxing again at 18 but by 2021 he was on the Olympic champion after packing in his job working in a Land Rover factory. Boxing icon Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as he chats with locals Now he is undefeated and 9-0 as a pro - meanwhile ex-world champ Kal, 36, is retired and Gamal, 33, now coaches the younger generation. But Yafai - who returns on Saturday against Francisco Rodriguez Jr in a bid to earn a shot at WBC and WBO champ Kenshiro Teraji - doubts brother Gamal will be part of his corner team - preferring he remains just a fan for now. He said: "My coach Rob McCracken sorts all that out and I just like my brothers being there. They help me just being there and showing me support and having my back. "My brother Kal's been in my corner before as like a second in America. But as long as Rob's in my corner and my brothers are there supporting me, yeah, I'm happy." 4

England football star Kieran Trippier and his wife 'to divorce' - after he broke his silence on their marriage split
English ace Kieran Tripper and wife Charlotte are divorcing, according to reports. The Newcastle United right-back revealed earlier this week that he split from his wife Charlotte more than a year ago. But a source said that the pair are definitely committed to making the separation permanent, the Sun has now reported. Trippier, 34, married Charlotte in Cyprus in 2016 and the couple have three children togther, Jacob, and two daughters, Esme and Isla. The source said: 'Charlotte has been open with her friends about getting a divorce. She has been seeking legal advice and is keen to move on with her life. 'Kieran is a devoted dad but as a partner it hasn't worked out as Charlotte had hoped. 'She has moved house and started anew, so getting a divorce has been the next logical step. Charlotte wants to keep things as amicable as possible with Kieran.' The 34-year-old football star said on Wednesday in a statement on Instagram stories: 'I feel I have no choice but to confirm publicly that myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. 'Myself and Charlotte separated over a year ago. I have not commented previously as it is a private matter and we want to protect our children.' Kieran and Charlotte married in 2016 and sources say that they were keen to keep their split a secret so their kids would not have to deal with any upset. However, it has been reported that Charlotte has a new property where she lives without Kieran. Rumours of their split began during last year's Euros in Germany when Charlotte unfollowed her husband on Instagram on the end of the England's final group game. She also did not jet to Germany like other WAGs. She then posted a cryptic message on social media, saying: 'Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you'd never get over and it's the best feeling in the world.' Further posts included the caption 'the sun is shining, happy Monday', where Charlotte was seen sitting in the car listening to music while she waited to pick up her children from school. Meanwhile, the footballer, 34, was reportedly seen mingling in Ibiza with another woman this week. The Newcastle United player was spotted partying with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry and her pals including Love Island star Jess Harding at Ushuaia club on the White Isle. The sportsman announced his retirement from international football in August last year - with MailOnline revealing how he wanted to to focus on life outside the game following his marriage breakdown. MailOnline has approached representatives of Kieran Trippier for comment, and also Charlotte Trippier.

The secrets of Nottinghamshire's remarkable rise: How an injection of youth, clever recruitment and the evolution of Haseeb Hameed has helped charge to County Championship summit
Halfway up the hill, Nottinghamshire are looking down on the rest of the County Championship. As first-class action returns to domestic cricket this weekend, even their most fervent fans would be forgiven for thinking the Division One table has been turned upside down.
