Honda Racing UK’s Dean Harrison is now £66,510 better off after winning the most prize money at the 2026 Isle of Man TT.

Harrison finished twice a runner-up in the Supersport class to Michael Dunlop, earning him a total of £14,260. However, it was the blue ribbon Senior TT and Superbike TT races that earned him the majority of his prize money.

Harrison earned £28,500 for winning the Senior TT, despite the race being declared after just one full lap. That equates to a very tidy £755.36 per mile for the Honda Racing UK rider. Normally run across six laps, the Senior TT had been reduced to just four laps prior to being moved from its original position on Saturday, 6 June, to late afternoon on Friday, 5 June.

Following several delays on the day, the race eventually got underway before a crash for Erno Kostamo brought out red flags on lap two. With limited daytime remaining, the race was moved back to Saturday, however, poor weather once again derailed the TT’s plans to stage the race. Harrison had created a lead of over 15 seconds before the red flags were brought out.

Meanwhile, the Superbike TT, which took place on Saturday, 30 May, went ahead without any issues. Harrison won the six-lap race, earning him a total of £23,750.

The second highest earner at this year’s event was Dunlop, who now sits 10 wins clear of his uncle, Joey Dunlop. The 36-time TT winner earned a total of £48,600 thanks to wins in both Supersport races and Race 1 of the Sportbike class.

Dunlop finished third in the Superbike TT, although he was fifth at the time of the red flags in the Senior TT, which ended up being his final positioning. Third on the highest earners list was Peter Hickman, who ended the 2026 event without a win to his name.

Hickman took home £37,240 after finishing second on two occasions (Superbike and Senior races), third in both Supersport races, and fourth in the only Sportbike race that was completed.
