By 2026 TT action is-officially completed, with Saturday’s racing falling foul to inclement weather, lack of time available to allow for suitable racing conditions.
Dean Harrison who was on course for a history-making lap time/lap speed in last evening’s Milwaukee Senior race, before Erno Kostamo’s incident, forcing the race stoppage, is-declared the Senior contest victor.
Results have-been-decided via riders’ positions at the end of lap-one, meaning Harrison P1, Peter Hickman P2, Josh Brookes P3, Ian Hutchinson P4, Michael Dunlop MBE P5.
Jamie Coward P6, David Johnson P7, Nathan Harrison P8, Michael Browne P9, Conor Cummins P10.
Forty-six racers are-classified as race finishers with thirty-three of them either achieving silver or bronze replica finishing results.
So, that’s’ it for TT 2026, great weather/course conditions across qualifying week, into the RST Superbike race, not so much for the remainder of race week.

Gary Thompson MBE BEM – TT Races Clerk of The Course:
“This has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging TTs in recent years from a weather perspective. Over the course of the event, we set out with nine days on which racing could potentially have taken place, and rain will have affected seven of them.
That is an exceptional set of circumstances, and it has had a major impact on what we have been able to deliver.
Throughout the event, the weather simply hasn’t worked in our favour. We have faced low cloud, rain, standing water and changing conditions across various parts of the Mountain Course, which have significantly limited the windows available to us.”
We fully appreciate that today’s outcome will be disappointing for competitors, teams, sponsors, volunteers and, of course, the thousands of fans who travel to the Isle of Man from around the world to experience the TT.”
“However, throughout the event we have remained committed to making the very best use of every available weather window, while carefully managing the operational, logistical and safety considerations involved in delivering racing on the Mountain Course.
The challenges we have faced this year are part of the nature of an event that takes place on 37.73 miles of public roads.
That is what makes the TT unique, but it also means that weather and course conditions will always play a significant role in determining what is possible.
I would like to sincerely thank our competitors, teams, marshals, volunteers, officials, medical teams, residents, partners and fans for their patience, understanding and continued support throughout what has been a difficult week.
Their cooperation has been greatly appreciated.”
