2019 Isle of Man TT: Monster Energy Supersport TT 2 Results
After rain forced TT organizers to shuffle its race schedule for several days, the 2019 Isle of Man TT finally resumed with Peter Hickman winning the second Supersport TT race. Hickman beat out Dean Harrison and James Hillier for his fourth career TT win and first in the 600cc Supersport category.
The race was shortened from four laps to two in order to fit it into a more compressed schedule, meaning pit strategies had to be tossed out in favor of a pure sprint twice around the Mountain Course. The good news was that the course was now mostly dry, with only a few slightly damp patches.
Hickman had the early lead at Glen Helen, but Hillier was just 0.06 seconds behind. In fact, the lead six riders were all within two and a half seconds at that waypoint.
Harrison took over the lead at Ballaugh, but Hickman regained the advantage when they wound through Ramsay. Hillier, meanwhile, was just slightly behind them in third. By their second time through Glen Helen, Harrison had moved back into the lead over Hickman while the gap ahead of Hillier in third widened. Harrison and Hickman remained neck-and-neck the rest of the way, before Hickman finally gained an advantage, finishing 3.302 seconds faster than Harrison.
Dean Harrison led through parts of both laps before Peter Hickman finally pulled away.
