Michael Dunlop powered clear of Dean Harrison to win the first Supersport race at the Isle of Man TT in his Ducati V2.
The victory is the first of this year’s events for Dunlop and extends his record number of wins at the road race to 34.
There was little to separate Dunlop and Harrison, who dominated Sunday’s Superbike race for Honda, on the opening lap but the Scars Ducati rider pulled clear on the second of three laps.
Dunlop’s winning margin was 24.470 seconds as he claimed his ninth win in the Supersport class in a row.
Peter Hickman finished in third place as he beat Paul Jordan, Josh Brookes and Dominic Herbertson to the final podium place.
Dunlop cut a frustrated figure after the Superbike race after issues with his Honda but the Supersport race – a class he has dominated in recent years – was a different story.
Having become the first rider to win on a Ducati in 30 years as he completed a Supersport double in 2025, Dunlop picked up where he left off in the class and was the fastest rider in practice week.
The Superstock race, which was was postponed on Saturday, will not take place on Tuesday evening as wet weather impacted the racing schedule.
Tuesday’s Sportbike race, which was scheduled for 18:30 BST, has also been called off.
