Dean Harrison says there are two things making it “difficult” for him to win Isle of Man TT Supersport races.
Dean Harrison has been dominant in the 1,000cc category at the Isle of Man TT in recent years, but he has struggled to achieve success in the Supersport class, a trend that continued during the 2026 TT races.
Despite winning the Superbike race with ease, Harrison faced stiff competition in the Supersport category, particularly from Michael Dunlop, who had won eight consecutive races in that class.
Dunlop extended his winning streak to nine races by triumphing in Race 1 with the Ducati Panigale V2, leaving Harrison to settle for second place.
While Harrison acknowledged the challenge posed by Dunlop and the Ducati, he expressed satisfaction with his performance on the Honda CBR600RR and praised the reliability of the bike throughout the race.
The Supersport race was delayed due to inclement weather, but Harrison adapted well to the track conditions and showcased his strategic approach to navigating the damp spots.
Overall, Harrison remained positive about his performance and track conditions, highlighting specific areas where caution was needed for future races at the Isle of Man TT.
