Dean Harrison’s prize money for winning Senior Isle of Man TT race revealed

Dean Harrison has won the biggest individual prize pot of any rider at the 2026 Isle of Man TT, after taking home £28,500 as a result of his Senior TT victory. 

The Honda Racing UK rider was handed the full prize pot despite the race being declared after just one full lap. TT organisers attempted to restart the Senior TT on Saturday as part of a revised schedule, however, poor weather once again put an end to any hopes of racing. 

The 2026 TT was plagued by major delays due to heavy rain, with the conditions ultimately causing three races to be cancelled altogether. Originally scheduled for Saturday, 6 June, the Senior TT was moved forward to late Friday afternoon. The race was then switched back to Saturday following an incident on lap two, as not enough daylight remained to complete it on Friday evening. 

The Senior TT is considered the highlight of the event, and as such it offers the highest prize money of any race. Harrison’s win means he secured the two biggest earnings at this year’s TT, after also taking home £23.750 for winning the Superbike TT. 

The prize for finishing second in the Senior TT is £14,250, which was won by Peter Hickman. Josh Brookes secured £9,410 as he was in third place at the time of the race being stopped. The top 20 riders are handed out cash rewards in the Senior TT, with 20th place winning £630. 

After the Senior and Superbike TT, it is the Supersport class that offers the next highest prize pot for a race win at £14,250. Michael Dunlop won both Supersport races at the 2026 event, meaning he will have taken home £28,500 courtesy of those wins.

£9,500 is handed out for the winner of a Superstock race, however, that prize pot was left untouched after both races were cancelled. Dunlop’s success in the Sportbike Race 1 saw him take home another £7,130.
