2026 Isle of Man TT Results: Qualifying 3 (Wednesday, 27 May)

Supersport: Qualifying 3

Michael Dunlop bounces back from his Superbike/Superstock woes by returning to the top in Supersport Qualifying 3.

Dunlop - quickest in the Supersport and Sportbike classes during Qualifying 2 – beat his earlier Supersport best on the opening lap of the evening, then improved again on the Ducati Panigale V2.

Superbike leader Dean Harrison finished the day 29.939s behind Dunlop, but the Honda rider explained he had encountered traffic on his best lap.

Paul Jordan was third, also on a Ducati...

Sportbike: Qualifying 3

With Dunlop focusing exclusively on Supersport this evening, Jamie Coward topped the Sportbike session, albeit over 30-seconds slower than Dunlop’s Paton time from Qualifying 2.

Superbike: Qualifying 3

Dean Harrison makes it three out of three by leading Wednesday evening’s Qualifying 3 for the Superbike/Superstock classes.

After using his Superstock Honda to set the Qualifying 2 pace earlier in the day, Harrison set an almost identical time on the Superbike-spec CBR in Qualifying 3, courtesy of a 133.712mph opening lap.

That was not far off his own Tuesday (Superbike) best of 133.925mph, and kept Harrison +12.876s clear of Peter Hickman, with John McGuinness in third.

Michael Dunlop pitted after one slow lap on his Honda Superbike and switched over to the Superstock BMW.

However, a technical issue meant the 33-time TT winner pulled off shortly after rejoining, leaving Dunlop to walk back to the paddock.

Superstock: Qualifying 3

Josh Brookes set the Superstock pace at 131.943mph, putting him ten-seconds quicker than multiple TT winner Ian Hutchinson.

Superbike: Qualifying 2

Peter Hickman set the Superbike pace from John McGuinness in Qualifying 2, but both were behind Dean Harrison and Michael Dunlop on Superstock machines (see below).

Dunlop later set the third-quickest time in the SBK class.

Harrison's Tuesday lap of 133.925mph remains the best of the event so far, heading into this evening's Qualifying 3...

Superstock: Qualifying 2

Harrison set a flying 133.362mph from a standing start on his Honda Superstock machine, which put him ten seconds faster than Michael Dunlop's lone Superstock lap.

Harrison then improved to a 133.867mph during a 'short lap', with the whole field brought into the pits to allow an ambulance on to the course for a non-racing emergency.  

Nevertheless, it made Harrison the only rider under 17 minutes so far today...
