The 2026 Isle of Man TT Races will feature two four-lap Monster Energy Supersport races on Tuesday and Friday, a change from previous years when the middleweight class opened the program.
With some riders absent and others seeing better chances, the top 20 seeded riders aim to challenge Michael Dunlop MBE, who has won all eight Supersport races since 2022.
Mike Browne starts at number one on the Boyce Precision/Russell Racing Yamaha, debuting the YZF-R9 on the Mountain Course. Paul Jordan follows at number two on a Ducati, having placed in the top eight in five of the last six races.
Dean Harrison, with one Supersport win in 2018 and consistent podium finishes, starts third on a Honda Racing machine. Jamie Coward, switching from Triumph to Honda, starts fourth, having finished in the top six in five of his last six races.
David Johnson rides the CD Racing Kawasaki at number five, followed by Michael Dunlop at six, a dominant force with 15 Supersport TT wins, continuing on the Ducati Panigale V2.
Josh Brookes starts seventh on the Uggly & Co. Racing GSX-R750 Suzuki, aiming for a podium finish.
Triumph riders Davey Todd, Michael Evans, and Peter Hickman occupy the next three spots, with Todd racing a Triumph for the first time at the TT.
Local rider Conor Cummins starts 11th on a GSX-R750 Suzuki, with Ian Hutchinson at 12th on a Ducati, marking his first TT race on the brand.
Dominic Herbertson, an outside podium contender, starts 13th on a KTS Macadam Triumph Factory Racing machine.
Shaun Anderson and Rob Hodson, on Suzuki and Ducati respectively, start 14th and 15th, with Hodson having finished sixth in last year’s race.
Nathan Harrison rides a H&H Motorcycles Honda at 16th, with the remaining top 20 filled by riders not seeded in other major races.
Michael Sweeney, Joe Yeardsley, and Joey Thompson occupy spots 17 to 19, while Adam McLean withdrew due to surgery.
