The 2019 Isle of Man TT has ended in blistering form after a week of disarray due to horrendous rain. The Senior race the big finale of any TT week was won by Dean Harrison, denying arch rival Peter Hickman four wins in a week and a place in TT history. They were the stars of 2018, Hickman having to pull an all-time lap record out of the bag (a still-unbeaten 135.45mph average) to pip Harrison to the Senior win. One year on, their podium places swapped when Hickman"s BMW hit trouble on lap four (of six) and Harrison soared to a 53 second lead having been around 10secs behind in earlier laps. Isle of Man local Conor Cummins finished third, just as he did last year. Dominic Herbertson, who firmly won us over last year, came in tenth.
