2025 Senior TT Preview :
Senior TT Showdown: Who Will Conquer the Mountain in 2025?
The Isle of Man TT Festival has been a rollercoaster of emotions, high speeds, and unforgettable moments, all building to the finale of the Milwaukee Senior TT Superbike race. As we stand on the brink of this ultimate challenge, the atmosphere on the Island is electric, despite the weather playing its usual mischievous hand throughout the week.
We’ve seen practice sessions and races delayed by rain and oil spillages, making the schedule a constant dance. Notably, the start of racing itself was pushed back by two days, and even Tuesday’s Supertwin and Superstock races were moved to the evening due to wet roads. This has meant less track time than usual for some, adding an extra layer of challenge to an already formidable and notoriously difficult course.
Unfortunately, the festival also saw a major incident that ruled out one of the road racing’s top riders. Fourteen-time TT winner Peter Hickman sustained chest, back, shoulder, and facial injuries in a fall at Kerrowmoar during a qualifying session. While thankfully his condition wasdescribed as “comfortable” and “in good spirits,” it means we won’t see him on the grid for the Senior TT, a huge blow for the fans and his 8Ten Racing BMW team. His absence undeniably reshapes the competitive landscape.
Hickman however is back in the paddock, although battered and bruised he has been there throughout supporting his team mate and friend, Davey Todd.
