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

1559901723

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 3: Harrison's clean through the Ramsey Hairpin and he looks to be settling into a strong rhythm, with the Kawasaki running out on its own in front. He'll likely have lapped traffic to deal with on the next lap, if not over the Mountain, and we've seen before how that can have a major impact on the lead of the race. Hickman's through and has re-established the 10s lead.

Lap 3: Outside of the top-10 starters, Davey Todd, Brian McCormack and Jamie Coward are all running inside the top 10, and despite the battle for the Senior TT victory being the headline act, we're seeing a glimpse of the future here. Remember, this is Todd's second year at the TT...and he's running ahead of Rutter, Hillier and Gary Johnson!

Lap 3: Hickman's pulling away again over the Mountain, adding another two seconds the move 12.298s clear of Harrison. Dunlop's had a poor start to lap three, with the 11-second gap to Cummins extending to 15s, and you wonder if that wrist injury is starting to take an effect.

Lap 4: If there's any change across the line when Todd, Coward and McCormack arrive we'll let you know, but the three are through Cronk ny Mona and holding position.

Lap 4: Through Glen Helen they come and that may be the point that Hickman broke Harrison as he extends the lead across the first sector where Harrison usually dominates. It's out to 14.006s, and Harrison needs to respond with pit stops at the end of the lap.

Dunlop Senior TT

Lap 4: Cummins looks a good bet for third with the gap to Dunlop extending to 17 seconds, though Dunlop has nearly a minute in hand over fifth-placed Todd.

Lap 4: Harrison responds! He takes 1.1s out of the lead on the run to Ballaugh.

Lap 4: Harrison takes another half-a-second out of Hickman's lead running to Ramsey. Is Hickman taking a breather before the Mountain, or have the tables turned here?
