Michael Dunlop broke the Supersport qualifying record three times in just a few hours at the Isle of Man TT 2026 on Wednesday. But the evening brought more than just fast times — two incidents left the paddock concerned.
The third qualifying session of the Isle of Man TT 2026 ends with a clear winner and a frustrated record holder. Dean Harrison dominates again on the Superbike, while Michael Dunlop parks both the Honda and the BMW early.
An international investigation accuses KTM of systematically putting illegal sport enduros on the road. The allegations sound dramatic, but a closer look reveals a significantly more nuanced picture.
Yamaha is advancing trademark registrations for the YZF-R2 name worldwide. Recent filings in the USA and numerous other countries point to a new sportbike with around 200 cubic centimeters of displacement, set to be positioned below the existing YZF-R3.
