Racing was due to get underway at the 2026 Isle of Man TT but unfortunately with low cloud covering parts of the TT Course and conditions preventing the medical helicopter from operating safely, Race Day One was postponed.
While disappointing for riders and fans alike, decisions like these reflect the judgement and responsibility that underpin every session on the Mountain Course.
In today's Daily Round Up we look ahead to the revised schedule, and catch up with five-time TT winner Dean Harrison.
Harrison is one of the standout performers throughout qualifying week, setting the pace on both his 1000cc machines. He talks through his approach, the thinking behind his closely matched Superbike and Superstock packages, and why consistency and rider confidence remain key over six laps of the TT Course.
Dean also reflects on his journey from motorcycle mechanic to TT winner, his training and what it takes to compete at the highest level of road racing.
With the forecast currently looking favourable, attention now turns to the opening six-lap RST Superbike Race.
What are your predictions for Race Day? Where are you watching from?
