Picture: Isle of Man TT Races

The weekend saw the first TT Races of the year, with Michael Dunlop claiming his 23rd win, putting him level with John McGuinness as the second most successful TT rider ever. 

He rode to victory in Saturday's opening race, winning with a race record time by 12.3seconds - he was followed by Peter Hickman, who narrowly beat Dean Harrison for second place. 

Local rider Ryan Cringle was the best newcomer in 22nd after lapping at 120.364mph on his final lap.

Later on, Ben and Tom Birchall claimed their 13th Sidecar victory as they became the first ever crew to lap the course at more than 120mph. 

Sunday's Superbike Race saw Dunlop lead from start to finish, with Peter Hickman narrowly missing out on a new outright lap record with a speed of 135.445mph. 

Dean Harrison was once again third. 

There is no racing taking place today, meaning there are no road closures scheduled. 

Elsewhere, Bushy's TT Village is open from midday until midnight at the Villa Marina Gardens, and the final night of Ramsey Sprintfest gets underway from 7pm in Market Place.

Meanwhile, Ramsey Sprint is taking place on Mooragh Promenade.
