Davey Todd held off a late charge from Michael Dunlop – whose rear tyre “fell apart like a cheap watch” – to win the Superbike TT race at the 2025 Isle of Man TT
Davey Todd secured the first victory at the 2025 Isle of Man races, dominating the Superbike TT event from start to finish despite a late challenge from Michael Dunlop, whose efforts were hindered by tire issues. Todd’s tactical approach led him to his third TT win after a slow start in practice sessions earlier in the week. The race, rescheduled and shortened due to oil spills on the track, saw Todd extending his lead over his competitors, eventually crossing the finish line with a comfortable two-second margin. Despite a strong pitstop and a late race surge, Dunlop struggled with rear tire grip, ultimately missing out on what could have been his 30th TT win. Both riders will have another chance to compete later in the first Supersport TT race scheduled for later in the day.
