Live coverage of the Sportbike race from the 2026 Isle of Man TT, the second race set to take place on Tuesday 2 June.
The Sportibke race is set to close today's racing at 18:30 after multiple delays. The Sportbike race was scrapped from today's schedule at one point as a result of forecast rain, but as the forecast for the evening improved it was later reinstated.
Superstock was initially due to race today as well, the opening Superstock race having been postponed on Saturday due to bad weather, but the second 1,000cc race of the week has been postponed once again.
Sportbike was also originally removed from today's schedule, but it is now scheduled for 18:30.
Sportbike Race 1 follows Supersport Race 1 that started at 15:00 and was won by Michael Dunlop, who was also the fastest rider in Sportbike qualifying. Dunlop also won both Supertwin races last year, the class that Sportbike has been rebranded to in 2026.
Mike Browne was second-fastest in Sportbike qualifying, but over 20 seconds slower than Dunlop, the equivalent of around 2mph in average speed. Peter Hickman was five seconds behind Browne. Fourth-placed Paul Jordan was the only Aprilia RS 660 rider in the top-five in qualifying, just ahead of Michael Evans in fifth.
Michael Dunlop says it's "great to have another win under my belt" after his dominant Supersport win today having been "comfortable" with the Ducati Panigale V2 since the beginning of practice week.

We've reached Bungalow on the final lap now. 23s between the leaders as the come into the final few miles of this opening Supersport outing.

Onto the final lap now and it's still Dunlop leading, and by over 10s now.
Hickman to Jordan now just 1.8s, big ask for Jordan to hold onto that.
Almost 10s now for Dunlop. Gap down to 5s now between Jordan and Hickman with just over a lap to go.
Seven seconds now for Dunlop at Ramsey on lap two. This seems to be race run.
Jordan still third over Hickman, 8s between them so Hickman is closing back in on that final podium position.
At Ballaugh on the second lap now, and Dunlop is pulling away now. 4s is his gap over Harrison. Jordan still third.
Dunlop with 2.3s over Harrison at the first split on lap two.

Harrison first away out of the pits ahead of Browne and Jordan.
Dunlop next in and a clean enough stop for him as well, 1.4s faster than Harrison's.

Mike Browne heads off down Bray Hill and we are underway for the second race of this year's Isle of Man TT: Supersport Race 1.
Here's your top 10 starting order for Supersport Race 1:
Of course, Davey Todd would ordinarily be setting off at number eight, but his absence give #11 Conor Cummins an effective top-10 starting position.
A consequence of the delays today is that the Supersport race has been reduced from four laps to three. The pit stop must be completed at the end of the first lap.
The Sportbike race scheduled for 18:00 later on is also due to run over three laps.
