The 2026 Isle of Man TT races has concluded on a damp note, with Dean Harrison declared the winner of the Senior TT after poor weather conditions scuppered any chance of a restart.
The 2026 Isle of Man TT races ended with Dean Harrison winning the Senior TT due to poor weather conditions preventing a restart. Heavy rain forced the cancellation of Saturday’s four-lap race, originally rescheduled from Friday, when Erno Kostamo’s crash halted the event prematurely.
Despite a week of glorious sunshine during practice week, only four of the scheduled 10 races were completed this year. The superstock races and the sidecar class were also affected by weather delays and aerodynamic issues.
Organizers faced multiple challenges due to inclement weather, with limited windows for racing on the 37.73-mile Mountain Course. Gary Thompson, TT clerk of the course, acknowledged the disappointment for all involved but emphasized their commitment to maximizing available opportunities while ensuring safety.
Harrison was declared the winner ahead of Peter Hickman and Josh Brookes based on the completed lap before the race was halted, ending the annual event with just two 1000cc class races completed.
