It might be hard to believe, but the 2026 Isle of Man TT is fast approaching. Qualifying week kicks off on Monday, May 25, which is conveniently also a bank holiday in the UK. After a week of qualifying runs across all classes, Race Week will follow hot on its heels on Saturday, May 30, and run through Saturday, June 6 (although there is also a contingency date of Sunday, June 7, should circumstances require extra time to complete the event).
If you've even the most passing of interests in the IOMTT, chances are excellent that you're already familiar with the man, the myth, and the legend that is Michael Dunlop, MBE. Even though he's already racked up 33 separate TT wins in the time he's been running it, it seems like he keeps finding new records to knock down and put his stamp on as time goes on.
