Follow the latest updates live from the Isle of Man TT in what is set to be the busiest day in the event’s history.

No fewer than five races have been scheduled for Thursday on top of two additional qualifying sessions as organisers attempt to squeeze in every race this week following the lengthy rain delays. After losing Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday to rain, action looks set to resume on Thursday with a bumper day of racing, ahead of Friday’s blue-riband Senior TT.

The action kicked off with superbike and superstock qualifying before Peter Hickman took victory in the two-lap supersport race two. The Birchall brothers, Ben and Tom, took their seventh Sidecar TT win with victory in race two, their 10th overall. When racing went back to the solos, there was still no stopping Hickman as he sealed a week hat-trick with superstock victory. Racing continues this evening with the two-lap lightweight race and one-lap TT Zero, with the day rounded out with a one-lap Senior qualifying. Follow the live action below.

Thursday’s running at the TT begins at 11:50am.

Supersport race two: So Hickman leads Hillier by just 0.6s, and once again the top eight are separated by just 3.2s in a mightily close race.

[6 June 2019 13:04 · Jack de Menezes]

Supersport race two: At Ballaugh Harrison has moved ahead of Hillier, but both of them have moved ahead of Hickman to shake up the order as the Kawasaki pair move out in front. All three are split by just 0.6s, with Gaz Johnson fourth and Cummins overtaking Johnston for sixth.

Supersport race two: Harrison gets a little bit of wheelspin out of the Ramsey Hairpin, but he still leads Hillier on time and has stretched a 1.6s gap over the Quattro Plant Kawasaki. Here comes Hickman...and he retakes the lead by 0.038s! This couldn't be any closer!

Supersport race two: The leaders make their way over the mountain and towards the Bungalow, where Hillier has clawed some time back on Hillier and Cummins has also fought back on an area that suits him. However, this is Hickman territory, and when the Trooper Triumph arrives he's leading by 1.791s.

Supersport race two: Cummins and Harrison flash across the Grandstand to finish lap one, closely followed by Hillier who is just 0.9s behind Harrison. We're waiting for Hickman though as he'd stretched the lead again to the Cronk to 2.2s, and what will it be at the halfway stage? Here he comes across the line and it's 2.304s at the end of lap one with a 127.21mph speed.

2. Harrison +2.304s

Supersport race two: Harrison takes the lead on the road as he reaches Glen Helen ahead of Cummins, and could that be his ticket back into the battle for the lead? Hillier is 3.7s off Harrison and the front two are starting to pull away, but the sector time from Harrison is a strong one and he may have eaten into Hickman's lead here.He's taken the lead! Hickman trails by 0.546s.

[6 June 2019 13:23 · Jack de Menezes]

Supersport race two: Harrison isn't pulling away from Cummins as the Padgetts Honda is tucked in behind him at Ballaugh. But Hickman has retaken the lead by 0.323s, with Hillier still 4.4s off the front.

Matt Stevenson has been reported off at Greeba and is having a wrist injury tended to.

[6 June 2019 13:26 · Jack de Menezes]

Supersport race two: The gap has remained exactly the same at Ramsey, and you'd think that will benefit Hickman over the Mountain as he gets past Gary Johnson on the exit of Ramsey. Hillier's dropped away now in third but has a six second lead over Cummins, so it looks like it's a battle between the front two once again.

[6 June 2019 13:29 · Jack de Menezes]

Supersport race two: Hickman's increased the lead at the Bungalow, but not by as much as you'd normally think and there's less than a second in it!

[6 June 2019 13:29 · Jack de Menezes]

Supersport race two: Harrison will get through the Cronk and the finish line before Hickman has made it off the mountain, and the nervy wait will begin to see who's won this one...
