Michael Dunlop's Historic 32nd TT Win: A Testament to Supersport Supremacy
Michael Dunlop secures his 32nd Isle of Man TT victory, continuing his dominance in the Supersport category with a commanding performance on the Ducati Panigale V2.


Michael Dunlop once again proved why he is a legend in the world of motorsport by clinching his 32nd Isle of Man TT victory in the Supersport category. This win marks his third triumph of the week, further solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest riders in the history of the event.
Dominance on Display
Dunlop's victory in the four-lap race was nothing short of spectacular. He finished 26.1 seconds ahead of Dean Harrison, with Davey Todd securing third place, 15.8 seconds behind Harrison. This win extends Dunlop's record in the Supersport category to 15 victories, including the past eight consecutive wins from 2022 to 2025.
Ducati's Triumphant Return
This victory also marked a significant milestone for Ducati, as Dunlop gave the Italian marque their first TT win in 30 years on Monday's opening Supersport race. This win was particularly notable as it was achieved on the Ducati Panigale V2, the seventh different manufacturer Dunlop has triumphed with on the 37.73-mile Mountain Course.
Race Day Challenges
Wednesday's race faced several delays due to weather issues, a road traffic accident, and a non-racing related medical emergency. However, once the race commenced, Dunlop quickly took control, leading from the start despite the windy conditions. His fastest lap of the race was 129.297mph, slightly slower than his 130.313mph in race one due to the challenging weather.
Looking Ahead
With this victory, Dunlop has set his sights on further extending his record. He has opportunities to secure a fifth four-timer of his TT career in the upcoming Superstock and Supertwins races on Friday, and the Senior TT on Saturday.
