Peter Hickman won the opening Superbike TT race at the 2024 Isle of Man TT after Michael Dunlop’s pitstop trouble caused him to lose his lead. Despite Dean Harrison and Davey Todd leading early on, Dunlop quickly caught up and had a significant advantage before his visor issue. Hickman, initially slow, eventually chased down Harrison and secured the win with a five-second lead. Todd, benefiting from Dunlop’s misfortune, took second place after working together with him to catch Harrison. Despite Dunlop’s efforts to regain position, he finished fourth behind Harrison’s third place.
