2019 Isle of Man TT: Dunlop Senior TT Results
You would think that Dean Harrison would be sick of Peter Hickman by now. Harrison has finished exactly one spot behind Hickman in the Superstock TT, Superbike TT and both Supersport TT races this week. The pattern even extended back to last year’s Senior TT, where Harrison led for five and a half laps before Hickman dropped a record-breaking final lap to steal the win.
For the 2019 Senior TT, Harrison finally gained the upper hand, wrapping up this year’s TT with a win over his rival. The script was flipped in this year’s Senior TT, with Hickman leading the first four laps before a technical issue cut his pace on the fifth lap. Harrison took advantage, taking the lead and holding it through the sixth and final lap for the win, averaging a speed of 130.824 mph.
Hickman led by nearly 18 seconds when his BMW S1000RR began to overheat. Hickman started to lose seven to eight seconds to Harrison through every sector but still managed to hold on to second. Conor Cummins completed the podium in third place, which he held for nearly the entire race.
The win was Harrison’s first in the Isle of Man TT, and put a stop to Hickman’s attempt at being the fourth man to win four TTs in a week.
