While the Superstock TT was postponed due to weather conditions, the second race of the week was Tuesday's three-lap Supersport TT.
Michael Dunlop further extended his record to 34 TT wins and 53 podiums in his incredible career. He had already run the previous eight consecutive Supersport TT races between 2022 and 2025, extending that streak to nine on Tuesday. 16 of his 34 TT wins have all been in the Supersport class -- nearly half.

Dean Harrison, who won last Saturday's Superbike TT, finished 24.470 seconds behind Dunlop in P2, with Peter Hickman a further 23 seconds behind him in the final podium spot.
Paul Jordan finished fourth and Joshua Brookes was fifth. Dominic Herbertsen, Jamie Coward, Shaun Anderson, Ian Hutchinson, and Mike Browne -- who had a 30s time penalty -- filled out the rest of the top ten.
Attempting to get back-to-back wins in this year's event, Harrison came out of the gate strong and took the initial lead. Dunlop moved just ahead at the end of the opening lap.
Hickman lost valuable ground in the pits, over 10 seconds closer than the bikes around him due to an issue disconnecting the fuel filler.
Dunlop continued to extend his lead into the second lap, 12 seconds ahead of Harrison. The battle for the final podium spot remained close with Hickman pursuing Jordan for P3. Entering Glen Helen on the final lap, Hickman overtook Jordan for that position and rapidly pulled away.
There were a dozen bikes that retired from Tuesday's three-lap event around the Mountain Course. The first Sportbike TT race of the week was set to follow later today, but weather forced race organizers to cancel.
Debutant Gary McCoy went off at Kerrowmoar on the third lap of the Supersport TT, and has since been transported to a local hospital. Via a post from the team on social media: "I’ve been speaking with him and it seems the damp conditions under the trees has caught him out, he’s spending the night in Nobles and we’ll know more tomorrow, we’ll update you all when we know more."
