Who will host TT coverage?

As of previous years the broadcast team will remain largely unchanged for 2025, however there have been some subtle tweaks for this years’ event.

Matt Roberts, Grace Webb and Rick Faragher will be broadcasting the event from across the TT paddock, within the TT studio based in the heart of the fan park.

As well as the regular faces on camera, there will be two familiar voices behind the microphone as Steve Day and James Whitham both return to the TT commentary box for 2025. The dynamic duo will be bringing live commentary of all practice sessions and races on TT+.

The support team will also consist of former TT racers Cameron Donald, Mark Miller, Patrick Farrance and Steve Plater. The team will also be joined by the most successful TT sidecar passenger, Tom Birchall, with Lee Johnston adding extra knowledge from a two-wheeled perspective.

Where can I see free-to-air TV Highlights?

2025 Isle of Man TT - Daily Reports

You may be used to seeing our video updates with selected riders from the TT races, but for this year we've decided to do something different. So, for 2025 we'll provide you with daily reports from each day of action.

Day One (Monday May 26)

After 350 days of waiting the 2025 Isle of Man TT races was ready and waiting to get underway, with all the teams and riders eagerly anticipating their first laps of the Mountain Course. However, the Manx weather put pay to any planned activities.

The riders were all kitted up and ready to go, with the newcomers getting away on their speed controlled laps behind Milky Qualye and John Barton. But, as they entered certain sections of the 37.73-mile course rain began to fall. They successfully completed their laps, but upon returning to the pits, they were informed that practice was cancelled form the day due to the weather.

The 2025 Isle of Man TT races returns to action for night two of practice on Tuesday May 27, however, the weather once again looks wet, which means practice could be cancelled.

Day Two (Tuesday May 27)

It looked like no action would take place on day two of the 2025 Isle of Man TT races, with heavy rain fall around the Island during the morning. However, after a break in the weather and the sun shining, the first untimed practice session would get underway at 6:35pm local time.

The organisers changed the original schedule to send out the sidecars first, with Ryan and Callum Crowe heading off at number one, followed by Pete Founds and Jevon Walmsley with Ben Birchall and new passenger Paddy Rosney closely followed.

The session would see most riders completing two laps of the course, avoiding damp patches in selected parts of the circuit.

After the sidecars returned the paddock it would be the turn of the solo riders to take to the track for the first time, with Supersport and Supertwin machines out first. TT royalty Michael Dunlop and Mike Browne would lead the pack away, with a number of riders following on. Dunlop would complete one lap on his Paton before swapping for two laps on his World Supersport spec Ducati V2.

Peter Hickman was also the same, completing one lap on his Swan Yamaha R7 before pitting for two laps on his Trooper Triumph 765. It would however be a frustrating evening for reining Senior TT champ Davey Todd, who after one successful lap on his Padgetts Honda CBR600RR, swapped for his brand new Paton built by Clive Padgett and his team. After not turning a wheel during the winter in any pre-season testing, he would get as far as Ginger Hall before breaking down, meaning he would fail to get back in time to spin any laps on his 8Ten Racing BMW M1000RR.

The final session of the evening's untimed practice was for the big bikes, the Superbike and Superstock machines. Michael Dunlop was the busiest of riders, completing one lap on his World Superbike spec BMW M1000RR, and then one on his superstock machine. Peter Hickman would round off the evening on his Superstock machine, completing two laps, with Honda Racing's Dean Harrison and John McGuinness successfully rounding off their practice programmes on their big bikes.

Due to the nature of the session no times were made available, but from now on in the clock will be running for all riders, and from Wednesday night we'll know who is doing is what at TT 2025.

Day 3 (Wednesday May 28)

Day three of action at the Isle of Man got underway beneath sun-kissed skies, with a full programme of qualifying action planned and it would provide record-breaking lap speeds.

Superbike/Superstock

First out on circuit would be the big bikes, with solo riders getting 50 minutes to chase a set-up on their 1000cc machines. First away would be National Treasure John McGuinness MBE on his Honda Racing superbike followed by David Johnson on his Lee Hardy Racing Kawasaki, but it would be the man setting off number three that everyone's eyes were fixed on. Laxey resident Dean Harrison set off on his superbike like a man on a mission, recording the first ever 130-mph lap from a standing start during the first night of qualifying. But he wasn't stopping there, and went for a flying lap. As he battled with his Honda CBR1000 RR-R Fireblade it was clear that Dean was on for a fast lap, and as he crossed the line he stunned the onlooking crowd, teams and fans following from home. He recorded a 133.096-mph lap, almost two miles an hour faster than his nearest competitor, Peter Hickman.

In the Superstock category Davey Todd and the 8Ten Racing team would lead the way with a 131.231-mph lap, after failing to set a lap on night two due a breakdown on his supertwin. Harrison would then provide a late charge towards the end of the session on his superstock machine, sticking in a 131.098-mph lap to finish second. Michael Dunlop would sit third in the standings after posting a 130.387-mph lap, with Dominic Herbertson fourth.

Supersport

Just after 7:20pm the middleweight classes took to the Mountain Course, with Supersport and Supertwin machines getting their chance to lay down their first timed laps of TT 2025. Michael Rutter and his Bathams Ales Yamaha R7 led away the pack from pit-lane closely followed by James Hind on his 750 Suzuki, with Paul Jordan on his Jackson Racing Honda CBR600 next away. But it would be Michael Dunlop and his Milwaukee Ducati that took top spot, posting a 125.742-mph lap on his first circulation. He would then better that on his flying lap, notching up a 127.181-mph lap. Dean Harrison would end the session behind the 29-time TT winner, with a 126.436-mph lap. James Hiller would round out the top three onboard his Bournemouth Kawasaki 636, with Davey Todd fourth and Peter Hickman fifth.

Supertwin

The Supertwin class would see a surprise name at the top of the times, as Rob Hodson and his SMT Racing Paton grabbed top spot, from Michael Dunlop and Manxman, Michael Evans.

Hodson set the fastest lap of the session on his second flying lap after Barry Furber set the pace early on, with the man from Wigan posting 119.521-mph lap with only five minutes of the session remaining on the clock. Both Dunlop and Evans would only set one lap onboard their machines, but it would be Hodson who held onto the top of the timesheets as the flag came out.

Davey Todd and his Padgetts Paton finished the session after Tuesday's breakdown, posting a 117.634-mph lap to put him fifth, sitting inbetween Mike Browne and Peter Hickman who finished fourth and sixth respectively.

Sidecar

The final session of the evening was for the sidecar teams, however it would be cut short due to incoming fog over the TT mountain course after just one lap for the three-wheelers.

But it would be the Crowe brother pairing of Ryan and Callum who finished on top, notching up a 118.797-mph lap.

Day Four (Thursday May 29)

Unfortunately, due to poor track conditions after heavy overnight rain fall, Thursday evening's practice session was cancelled. The organisers held off making the decision until 4:00pm, after it looked like the weather and course conditions were set to improve, but unfortunately the decision was taken to cancel the session.

Day Five (Friday May 30)

Following Thursday's cancelation, the TT organisers made a change to the schedule which would allow two sessions for the riders, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

Friday afternoon's session would be a key one for all the riders, with it being just the second qualifying session of the week, track time was vital for everyone.

Glorious sunshine once again bathed the Isle of Man on Friday afternoon as riders took to the Mountain Course for the second qualifying session of the 2025 Isle of Man TT Races. Dean Harrison led the charge, posting the fastest time of the day on his Honda Racing Superstock machine with a lap at 132.853mph - just shy of his Wednesday benchmark.

Davey Todd, aboard the Monster Energy by 8TEN Racing BMW, topped the Superbike leaderboard with a 132.673mph lap, while Honda's Harrison (128.093mph) and Michael Dunlop on the Paton (122.159mph) led the Supersport and Supertwin classes respectively. Meanwhile, Ryan and Callum Crowe continued their dominance in the Sidecar category, clocking the fastest ever qualifying lap by a three-wheeler at 120.202mph.

Following a short break in proceeding's, Friday evening's session would be red flagged at 18:40 for an incident involving Peter Hickman at Kerrowmoar. He would be airlifted to Noble's Hospital. Thankfully 48 hours later, Hicky would be discharged from hospital with minor injuries and continued to support the team from the Island.

Day Six (Saturday May 31)

Dry but blustery conditions shaped Saturday afternoon’s fourth qualifying session at the Isle of Man TT Races, as morning mist cleared just enough to allow a full run. Davey Todd stole the headlines with a blistering lap of 133.155mph aboard his Monster Energy by 8TEN Racing Superstock BMW – not only the quickest of the session but also the fastest Superstock lap of the week so far.

The mist and fog would soon make an appearance once again, cutting the session short with riders making their way back to the paddock under yellow flags. But unfortunately the conditions deteriorated forcing the organisers to cancel the rest of the days action.

Day Seven (Sunday June 1)

Sunday afternoon saw the final qualifying session take place for this year’s Isle of Man TT Races, and after overnight and morning rain cleared, Michael Dunlop finally showed his hand. The Ballymoney rider topped the Superbike leaderboard aboard his MD Racing BMW Motorrad machine, setting his fastest lap of the week at 132.003mph. 

Elsewhere, Conor Cummins was quickest in the Superstock class with a 129.835mph lap on the Burrows Engineering/RK Racing BMW. Honda Racing’s Dean Harrison led the Supersport runners with a 124.736mph effort. Paul Jordan (Jackson Racing Aprilia powered by Prosper2) went to the top in the Supertwin class at 118.584mph, while Ryan and Callum Crowe (Opul/Kelproperties LCR Honda) topped the Sidecar leaderboard at 119.337mph.

Day Eight (Monday June 2)

The first race day of the 2025 Isle Of Man TT races got underway beneath sun kissed skies over the Mountain Course, and after a re-jig in the schedule, the RST Superbike race would be the opening encounter of the week.

Superbike TT

At 12pm the flag dropped to signal the start of the RST Superbike race, with John McGuinness MBE leading off the field at number one in his customary starting position. However it would be his team mate Dean Harrison who led the way into Glen Helen, with Michael Dunlop slotting into second place. But, as 8Ten Racing's Davey Todd passed through the first check point, he gained the lead by two seconds and began to stamp his authority.

At the end of lap two Todd had extended his lead to 7.5 seconds over Michael Dunlop, who had gained second place from Harrison as they all entered the pits for the one and only pit-stop of the race. Dunlop and Harrison both experienced solid stops, with the duo completing theirs in under 55 seconds. However, race leader Todd had a relatively slow stop, losing six seconds over his nearest rivals.

At Glen Helen on lap three, the 2024 Senior TT winner responded and extended his gap back to 3.3 seconds over Dunlop, but it would then become a race between two men till the finish. Todd made a slight mistake as he headed into Ramsey, losing 1.5 seconds in the process, meaning it would be race on.

As the battle entered its final lap, the gap between the top two was just two tenths of a seconds at Glen Helen, with Todd just holding on to his lead. But, by the next sector the Saltburn-born man once again responded and found two seconds. A response which ultimately secured him the victory by just 1.2 seconds from Michael Dunlop with Dean Harrison third.

However, the stand out performance of the race was Manxman Nathan Harrison, who finished fourth, achieving his best-ever lap of the Mountain Course of 131.133mph on lap one.

The first sidecar race of TT 2025 saw Ryan and Callum Crowe take victory in dominate fashion, achieving their fastest lap speed around the Mountain Course of 121mph.

The final lap saw Ryan and Callum smash the lap record, circulating in 18 minutes and 42 seconds, at an average speed of 121.021mph. Ben Birchall and Paddy Rosey crossed the line second with Lee Crawford and Scott Hardie finishing third.

Supersport Race One

In the third and final race of the day, Michael Dunlop grabbed the headlines and collected his 30th Isle of Man TT win, collecting the Monster Energy Supersport victory onboard his Ducati Panigale V2.

It would be Dean Harrison who grabbed the early advantage, obtaining over a 7 second lead from the chasing pack after lap one. However, after sucessful pit-stops for the leaders, Dunlop would then hunt down his rival, cutting the gap to 2 seconds at the start of the final lap. The then 29-time TT winner grabbed the lead at Ballaugh Bridge, and then began to increase the gap over Harrison, crossing the line with a six second gap and collecting his 30th career victory at the TT.
