Follow the latest updates live from the final day at the Isle of Man TT as the blue-riband Senior TT takes place to wrap up the week’s action.

A bumper day of racing on Thursday saw Peter Hickman take his win tally to five TT’s as he claimed both the second supersport race and the Superstock TT, the latter in dominant fashion. Michael Dunlop registered his 19th TT victory by winning the Lightweight race with Michael Rutter claiming the spoils in the TT Zero, while the Birchall brothers Ben and Tom claimed seventh consecutive sidecar race.

But today is all about the Senior TT where Hickman will bid to become just the third man to win four TT races in a week, with Dean Harrison, Conor Cummins and Dunlop out to stop him. Follow the live updates below.

What time does it start?

Friday’s Isle of Man TT gets underway at 10am.

How can I follow it?

Races are not shown live from the TT, so the best way to follow the action as it happens is with local radio or The Independent’s live blog throughout the event. Radio coverage is provided by Manx Radio over the fortnight, while live timing is available through the official www.iomttraces.com website.

Schedule

10am: Senior TT

1559900025

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 1: Here they come to the line...it's 133.992mph from Harrison! Will Hickman break the 134mph barrier? Yes he does! 134.284mph from Hickman and he leads by 2.209s.

That is simply unbelievable pace from a standing start! The all-time lap record is very much in reach here.

McGuinness has stopped his Norton at the Bunbalow, by the way.

Lap 2: An update on Hillier, who is back at full race speed and catching Dunlop on the road. The reports are he overran on the way to Glen Helen on lap one and had to turn around, costing him a huge amount of time. He's 11th as he crosses the line.

Lap 2: McGuinness is confirmed as a retirement as the Bungalow on lap one to cap what has been a pretty miserable week for the Morecombe Missile.

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 2: Hickman leads by 1.841s at Glen Helen, with Harrison eating into the lead a little. Remember, the bikes will head for the pits at the end of the lap where Harrison will almost certainly gain time on Hickman due the longer length of time it takes to refuel the thirsy BMW.

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 2: Harrison has indeed broken away from Cummins with eight seconds between them on the road and 18s on regulated time. Hickman is flying though and despite starting as the 10th bike away, he's only got Dunlop, Cummins and Harrison left in front of him by Ballaugh, where he leads by 1.99s.

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 2: Want a sign of how fast that opening lap was? The top five all went above the 130mph barrier from a standing start, and Hickman is currently on 135mph time. Remember, the record which Hickman set last year is 135.452mph...

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 2: Hickman stretches the lead to Ramsey with a 3.4s gap, and he's quickly catching the Tyco BMW of Dunlop who's about 10s up the road.

Lap 2: Cummins is also pulling away from Dunlop in the battle for third, with the Manxman ahead by five seconds with David Johnson dropping away in fifth.

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 2: Harrison is strong to the Bungalow, going marginally faster than Cummins to move 20 seconds clear on time. Dunlop is through and loses more time to Cummins with the gap now seven seconds, but Hickman produces his fastest Mountain sector of the week! He's 6.524s clear.
