The 2025 Senior TT has been cancelled after the window to get the final race of the 2025 Isle of Man TT closed amid ongoing bad weather.

Considered the centrepiece of the festival, the Senior TT serves as the big finale to a fortnight of racing action on the last day of the event.

However, after two weeks dogged by persistent bad weather, rain and high winds over the course of the day meant there was no feasible opportunity to get the race underway.

Indeed, organisers had hoped to find a break in the weather with an early original start schedule of 10.45am. This was then moved to 1pm and then again to 7pm in the hope the weather would clear over the course of the day.

However, while earlier rain had indeed moved on, the Clerk of the Course determined that high winds and a change in the direction made it too dangerous to attempt a start.

With organisers having confirmed earlier in the day that there would be no opportunity to extend the event into Sunday due to an agreement regarding road closures, the decision was taken to cancel the race altogether.

"Following the course inspection lap and having consulted with a number of competitors, the Clerk of the Course has confirmed that, due to high and gusting winds in a different direction to those over the rest of the TT fortnight, conditions are not suitable for racing.

"As a result, the Senior TT Race has been cancelled.

"The Clerk of the Course would like to thank everyone for their co-operation throughout the 2025 Isler of Man TT Races. Further comment will be issued in due course."

The cancellation of the Senior TT represents a frustratingly fitting end to a difficult event that was forced into repeated schedule changes brought upon by unseasonably bad weather and, in particular, rain showers.

After limited qualifying track time forced organisers to devote the first weekend to more practice in lieu of racing, nine of the ten races were packed into a weekday schedule instead.

Despite the setbacks, nine races did take place - albeit shortened - in a testament to the patience of the organisers and the racers.

Victories over the course of the week would go to Davey Todd (Superbike TT), Michael Dunlop (Supersport TT 1 & 2, Supertwin TT 1 & 2), Dean Harrison (Superstock TT 1 & 2) and the Crowe brothers (Sidecars 1 & 2).

Despite concerns over the conditions, this is the second year in succession that the TT has had no fatalities - only the third time this has occurred since 1946.
