Davey Todd will be hoping to defend his Senior TT title at the Isle of Man TT

Michael Dunlop has the most wins EVER and is looking for more
Last year, Northern Irish legend Michael Dunlop broke the record for most wins on the course and is back for more this time around.
Dunlop broke uncle Joey's record of 26 last year with FOUR wins out of seven to take his overall tally to an incredible 29.
There has already been huge drama in the qualifying section with Peter Hickman involved in a major crash.
Hickman is one of the most recognisable faces in the Isle of Man TT and has won 14 races in the last five events.
The BMW rider has since been released from hospital but will not participate in this year's racing.
Here's everything you need to know for the week ahead.
What is the Isle of Man TT?
The annual event sees professional and semi-professional riders race around the Isle of Man in a time-trial.
The 'TT' in the name stands for Tourist Trophy, rather than time trial.
Anyone from any country can apply to race as long as they have a valid National Entrants or FIM Sponsors Licence for Road Racing, plus a driver's licence.
Last week was the qualifying section and this week is the racing.
There are six main events - the Senior TT, Supersport TT, Superbike TT, Superstock TT, Supertwin TT and Sidecar TT - with all roads on the island closed between 9am and 5pm.
The Senior TT is the main attraction and has almost run continuously since 1911.
It was not held due to World War I (1915-19) and World War II (1940-46), then because of foot and mouth disease in 2001, bad weather in 2012 and Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021.
Davey Todd won the race last year.

New 8pm to 8am parking ban kicks in for thousands of Brits – will YOU be impacted?
Scroll down to see if you will be impacted by the ban PARKED OFF New 8pm to 8am parking ban kicks in for thousands of Brits – will YOU be impacted? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DRIVERS have been issued a warning after a new overnight parking ban kicks in for thousands of Brits. The new regulations will see motorists banned between 8pm and 8am at a popular tourist location following local concerns. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The ban will affect motorhomes and campervans Credit: Getty Hampshire City Council has banned motorhomes and campervans from resting in Keyhaven. The new restrictions come after visitors flocking to the holiday hotspot have been leaving the area in a state. It has led to local concerns with county councillor highlighting a a massive spike in campervan numbers flocking to Keyhaven post-Covid. County Counillor, Fran Carpenter, told Birmingham Live she visited " a few days ago" and reported seeing "visible litter in the salt marsh". She said: "Campervans, some bigger than buses, were parked as far as the eye could see. "A van selling souvenirs and an Uber Eats car blocked the road while dropping off pizzas." Councillor, Lulu Bowerman, Hampshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Highways and Passenger Transport, warned there was a clear impact of having the larger vehicles in the area. "There are no public facilities overnight for parking, and campers use the local land, and many residents have asked for these controls to be introduced," she said. Bowerman explained "the new proposal will manage the situation". "I think the scheme would bring order to this particular beautiful part of Hampshire, and I think it's very necessary to maintain full accessible travel at all times." Additionally, she mentioned a "modest charge" in the area, which falls in line with similar locations, will deliver broader benefits to visitors. It will also help with the upkeep of the ecologically delicate area. New Pay and Display arrangements will be introduced at New Lane and Saltgrasss Lane, Keyhaven. The charges have been set at £1 per hour, up to a maximum stay of all day, operating Monday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm. But as part of the new traffic management arrangements, motorhomes and campervans won't be able to park between 8am and 8pm. Award-winning holiday park in St Ives In a council press release, Bowerman said: "Proposals to introduce parking charges on two seafront roads in Keyhaven stem from local concerns about unrestricted parking, resulting in an increase of overnight stays by motorhomes and campervans. "This has led to littering and other anti-social issues linked to camping activities for which the location is unsuited. "Introducing parking charges enables the County Council to curb overnight parking more effectively and to encourage a quicker turnaround of daytime parking so more people can enjoy this popular location. "We have carefully looked at the feedback received through two rounds of consultation and believe that on balance, a modest charge in line with those in place at similar locations, will deliver broader benefits to visitors whilst importantly, supporting the management of this ecologically sensitive site.' The new charging scheme is expected to be introduced later this year. A change to parking rules at Southeastern railway stations also caught drivers off guard in February. The new regulation saw a "pay and display" machines scrapped in favour of Automatic Number Plate Recognition with drivers now having to pay for their parking online. The move was designed to be "quicker and easier" for motorists who previously had to walk to the machine and back to their car to display their ticket.

Serie A star Joan Gonzalez forced to retire aged just 23 with rare heart condition after club doctor ‘saved his life'
Lecce's club president has spoken out about Gonzalez's decision STAR'S HEART SHOCK Serie A star Joan Gonzalez forced to retire aged just 23 with rare heart condition after club doctor 'saved his life' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SERIE A star Joan Gonzalez has been forced to retire aged 23 due to a heart condition. The former Barcelona academy starlet joined Lecce from the Catalan giants in 2021. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Joan Gonzalez has been forced to hang up his boots Credit: Getty Gonzalez did not feature last season, after a congenital heart condition was detected in the summer of 2024. Following recent further tests, the midfielder was forced to hang up his boots. Explaining the situation, club president Sticchi Damiani said: "He will not receive medical clearance. "The season began, unfortunately, with a major obstacle: the bad news about Joan Gonzalez, who failed his medical. "We called him back after a year for a new check-up, which took place a few days ago, and the situation remains the same." Damiani was then full of praise for Lecce's medical staff. The Italian continued: "A round of applause to our medical team, to Dr. Tondo, because they detected a congenital condition that is very difficult to diagnose. "It's a case study. Thanks to that, the boy's life was saved." Damiani also gushed over Gonzalez's professionalism and ability. The Lecce chief added: "He has faced it with a balance, serenity and intelligence that make us think he would have been a great footballer." Newcastle confirm first summer signing after pipping Barcelona, Real Madrid and Porto to Spanish wonderkid Damiani then admitted that he believes Gonzalez will become a "great manager". The Spaniard played 66 times for Lecce's first team, scoring twice. Gonzalez's final appearance came on May 26, 2024 - in his side's 0-0 draw with Napoli on the final day of the 2023-24 season.

Mini John Cooper Works Electric review: Worth the premium?
The John Cooper name and his famous signature has adorned Minis for over six decades, but this is the first time that we've seen a properly fettled electric Mini John Cooper Works model. As with the rest of the new Mini Cooper range, there are petrol and electric versions, but it's the EV we're focusing on in a world where electric hot hatchbacks seem to be taking off. An electric Peugeot 208 GTi is coming soon and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has received huge acclaim, while Tesla Performance models do what the name suggests – they go very quickly indeed. Mini hasn't focused entirely on performance with the John Cooper Works Electric. A 0-62mph time of 5.9 seconds is fast by old-school hot hatch measures, but nothing special when it comes to EVs. In fact, the standard Mini Cooper Electric SE will do the same sprint in 6.7 seconds. And therein lies the problem that John Cooper Works is facing – it just doesn't offer that much more for the extra £5,550 (minimum) outlay. There are a few fun bits, like the boost button on the steering wheel that ups the power to an impressive 255bhp, but the sense of performance for the JCW Electric over a Cooper SE just isn't enough. Tweaks to the suspension have made the car even more grippy, but have also made the ride rock hard. And while the optimised aerodynamics look great, you have the alternative option of adding the John Cooper Works pack to the Cooper SE for a Mini that's not quite as aggressive looking but still very much looks the part. If the job of the John Cooper Works Electric is to remind you how good the standard Minis are, then job done. You can swerve the JCW Electric and still be smiling loads in any other Mini. How we tested We spent a few hours enjoying the Mini John Cooper Works Electric around Cotswold lanes, testing the performance and handling, but also how easy it would be to live with. All our reviews include real-world assessments looking at everything from the tech to the space and practicality. Mini John Cooper Works Electric: £35,455, Independent rating: 6/10 Mini John Cooper Works Electric specs Price range: £35,455 Battery size: 54.2kWh Maximum claimed range: 251 miles Miles per kWh: 4.4 Maximum charging rate: 95kW Battery, range, charging, performance and drive Mini has stuck with the 52kWh battery for the John Cooper Works Electric, which means a maximum claimed range of 250 miles – amazingly three miles more than a Cooper SE with the same battery, but less power. Fast charging is at the same speed as the Cooper SE at an unremarkable 95kW, meaning a 10 to 80 per cent charge would take around half an hour. You'll need to flick the boost button on the steering wheel to get the fastest 0-62mph time, which at 5.9 seconds is far from remarkable these days. With grippy tyres on standard 18in wheels and beefed-up suspension, the traditional go-kart feeling is ever-present, more so than on the Cooper SE. That's a blessing and a curse, upping the fun factor but dragging down ride quality. Put simply, it's too firm to be comfortable. There's no extra excitement from the noise the John Cooper Works Electric makes either. The standard synthesised noises – there are 39 so-called 'earscapes' in the car – are the same as before. They're great fun, especially in go-kart mode, which is entered via a rocker switch on the dash and a 'woo-hoo' sound effect. But there are no extra whooshes, pops or bangs to be heard in the JCW over the standard Coopers. The styling is beefed-up, though, with new spoilers at the front, sides and rear, with plenty of gloss black and John Cooper Works logos, plus splashes of red dotted around including on the brake callipers. Interior, practicality and boot space The cabin has had a John Cooper Works makeover, too, with the black and red theme going across the knitted surface on the dashboard and on the synthetic leather seats. At night you'll notice the ambient lighting on the headlining, too. Otherwise, it's standard Mini fare, which means excellent BMW build quality and more space than you might imagine. The Cooper is strictly three-doors these days, the five-door Aceman is there with the same batteries and motors for a very similar driving experience. It also gets a new John Cooper Works Aceman model. Access to the rear seats is okay through the long front doors, and the small 210 litre boot falls into the 'just big enough to be useful' category. Mini has thought hard about little practicalities. There's a long tray with useful dividers that sits between the front seats, plus usefully large door bins in the front doors. Technology, stereo and infotainment The star of the latest Mini range's tech is the 9.45in circular OLED screen that sits – as it always has in a Mini – in the centre of the dash. It's a lovely screen that's as responsive as it is crisp, and the interface is usable with 'hey Mini' voice control, too. Beneath the screen are rockers and buttons to control starting the car, selecting one of seven driver modes (Vivid, Core, Green, Timeless, Balance, Go Kart and Personal) and for gear selection. Everything else is on the touchscreen, although there are also steering-wheel mounted controls and a programmable fast button. There are a couple of pricey option packs, although they do pile on the kit nicely, that you'll have to plunder to get some of the best tech. That includes the head-up display and the digital key, which converts your smartphone into a car key. Standard are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – although they only display in a square in the screen, not across the whole circle – and there's wireless phone charging, too. A Harman Kardon audio system provides decent sounds, while clever and usable self-parking sits alongside a host of other driver assistance features. Prices and running costs The good news is that the Mini John Cooper Works Electric is efficient to keep running with a decent claim of 4.4 miles per kWh. The bad news is that unless you really want the most focused electric Mini to drive, we wouldn't pay the £5,550 extra over the already fun-to-drive Cooper SE. As with any Mini, the list price is only the starting price – in this case £35,455. Add in some of the options packs, stripes and different trims and you'll soon end up at the £40,000 mark. The Mini's quality and fun make it worth considering, but we'd stick with a lesser Mini that's just as much fun and save a bit of cash. Mini John Cooper Works Electric rivals FAQs What should I consider before buying one? Consider if the modest performance gain and firmer ride over the standard Mini Cooper SE justify the significant extra cost, and be mindful that the most desirable tech comes in pricey option packs. How long does it take to charge? Fast charging matches the Cooper SE's 95kW, taking about half an hour to go from 10 per cent to 80 per cent. How much does it cost - is it worth it? The starting price for a Mini is £35,455. Including options packs, stripes, and different trims can increase the cost to approximately £40,000. There's a standard three-year warranty, plus eight years' cover for the battery Why trust us Our team of motoring experts have decades of experience driving, reviewing and reporting on the latest EV cars, and our verdicts are reached with every kind of driver in mind. We thoroughly test drive every car we recommend, so you can be sure our verdicts are honest, unbiased and authentic. The verdict: Mini John Cooper Works Electric The biggest problem with the John Cooper Works Electric is that every other Mini is just as fun to drive. The extra cash the JCW Electric costs gets you a bit more performance and a bit more focus, but the performance and driving benefits just aren't enough, while the ride is even stiffer than before. I'd stick with a standard electric Cooper SE with a few JCW extras added on.
