Eight-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez says he “respects a lot” the Isle of Ma💮n TT but “I don’t agree with the risks” riders face while racing there.

The 2025 Isle of Man TT is in its final dꦰays, with racing concluding on Saturday with the six-lap Senior TT.

Michael Dunlop has made more history by extending the all-time win tally to 32 victories, while Dean Harrison has enjoy🧜ed his first wins since 2019 with a brace in the ꧙Superstock class.

The Superbike TT was won by Davey Todd, while the Cr🎀owe brothers have dominated the Sidecar class in 2025.

Two of Dunlop’s wins were significant, as his victories in Supersport took Ducati 🔜to the top of the TT podium for the first time since 1995.

“I saw many videos! I wanted to co🅷me but I had the Aprilia All-Star weekend,” he sai𝓡d.

I think they are completely out of their minds!

“It’s amazing to seﷺe how much passion there is at the Isle of Man.

“The𝔍 track is amazing, they remember everything. Also, the people who watch are fu🏅ll of passion.

I want to go there and live, for ꦓmyself, this experience.

“For sure, th🌠ere are moments in a race where we do the same. But in moments. They do it all weekend long so I have huge respect for them.
