Dean Harrisons took a win, and Dunlop gets his third of the week. He's third in the all time winners table, many thought he wouldn't survive this long, but he's certainly smoothed things out.

The front runners are right on the edge. Mind blowing stuff laying darkies all over the place.

Ah fuck that we're allowed spoilers on here, especially when the race is two days old. Hicky was incredible. To win after losing 13 seconds due to his first lap detour was unbelievable. He was passing people as if they were touring. Always good to get a new name on the list off TT winners, and there was another one newbie win this morning. Best ride I've ever seen at the TT. Was chuffed for Hicky. Superstock same as Superbike lap record pace  |

Why have a Superbike class at all? The only reason I can see to keep it is to that Norton and Suter can raise their non-production bikes.

Watching the Senior on live timing. It's so close between the first two, the last lap could destroy the existing record.

135.4mph. And they both got properly caught up in traffic on their final / fastest laps. Bar well and truly raised this year with the perfect conditions.
What happened to Dunlop? Obv bike trouble of some kind. Hard to say if he could have matched or gone faster than Dean and Hicky

Its great to have a couple of young 'uns in the mix now. |

Amazing race, tough on Dean Harrison getting beat by 2 seconds over 6 laps but Peter Hickman rode like a demon and smashed the record. Got to say that all the front runners showed total respect to lapped riders and didn't just barge through. Even Dunlop the beast gave them space.
Surely this race bettered the myth that the greatest ever race was Hailwood v Ago. For me this was the best ever.

Its great to have a couple of young 'uns in the mix now. I think McGuiness racing winning days are over when you take into account his age and what hes riding (excluding TT zero). Not sure about Hutchy, its all down to his health I guess which, is currently going against him. Dunlop, Hicky and Harrison are clearly the top dogs at the TT now on the big bikes. Until this TT I always felt that Dunlop was the clear favourite and always had something abit extra in hand if he was ever pushed, this TT has changed all that. |
