“We would like to take this opportunity to thank @conorcumminsiom for his efforts and professionalism as he was part of our team during our 2025 roads campaign.
Like every season, we had highs and lows together, the highlights of which include when Conor managed to give us our fastest TT lap to date and take a superb 5th and 6th places in the Superstock races at this years event.
We wish Conor well as he moves on to the next chapter in his career and again thank him for his efforts in 2025.”
The race sees 12 laps of the 3.803 miles circuit open the day’s racing and this year seen an outstanding session from Davey Todd who lead comfortable from the first to last second of the event.
The first few laps seen a half second duel between Emo Kostamo and Peter Hickman until Kostamo overshot one of the corners onto the runoff. Emerging in 6th he battled his way very quickly back to third which is where he remained as Hickman took the second podium spot, securing a 1 – 2 for 8Ten Racing.
Rumours have been circulating for a couple of days now about a return of the Ulster Grand Prix and it now has been confirmed that the Northern Ireland Government will be budgeting for around £400,00 over a ‘multi-year contract’ and that approximately 50% of that will be set aside for the UGP in order to make improvements around the circuit. However, and notably funding will not be provided for the racing itself.
So the Ulster is by no means back just yet, but this is the biggest step forward in ensuring bikes return to the Dundrod circuit.

The 2025 Classic TT was held from the 20th – 29th August 2025, with qualifying sessions being held alongside the Manx Grand Prix from 20th – 25th August 2025. A revised race schedule, decided by inclement weather meant race days were held on 27th (evening contingency) and 29th August 2025.
The 2025 Manx Grand Prix ran from 17th August 2025 – 25th August 2025, with qualifying sessions being held from 17th August – 22nd August and two race days being held on 23rd August and 25th August 2025.
The Manx Motor Cycle Club is pleased to confirm the dates for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix, which will take place from Sunday 17th August to Monday 25th August 2025 on the iconic Isle of Man TT Mountain Course
The 2025 edition promises to deliver an increased number of races as part of the fresh, action-packed modern race programme that will see the event return to its clubman sporting roots, focusing on developing the next generation of TT riders and upholding the traditions of the famous event going into its 102nd year..
The six days of practicing will commence on Sunday 17th August 2025 ahead of the four-race schedule taking place across the action-packed Summer Bank Holiday weekend, with the 2025 Manx drawing to a close on Monday 25th August with the headline Senior MGP Race.
With the Supersport and Supertwin machines now at the heart of the programme, spectators can expect intense competition, showcasing the skill and dedication of motorcycle road racing’s rising stars. The new schedule will maintain the spirit of the Manx Grand Prix while also evolving to provide a fresh experience for racers and fans alike.
A key change for the upcoming event is the removal of classic racing from the Manx Grand Prix schedule. This decision allows the reintroduction of the Classic TT, which will run in tandem as a standalone event in the Isle of Man’s racing calendar. This move is aimed at sustaining a second Mountain Course road race event, allowing the Manx Motor Cycle Club to concentrate on modern racing categories and its long-standing tradition of nurturing rising stars of the sport.
John McBride, Chairman of the Manx Motor Cycle Club said: “We are incredibly excited for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix. The revised race programme, and modern racing focus will offer competitors and fans alike a highly competitive and thrilling spectacle. We are pleased to be able to give our riders better value for money with two races per class, as well as increased practice time, and feel that this re-focused approach, will ensure that the event can continue to play an important role in road racing for many years to come.”
The CURRENT schedule for the MGP 2025 and 2025 Classic TT is listed as below. This is subject to change as the event progresses, responding to weather delays, cancellations and the use of potential contingency days.
