Dean Harrison clinched his first bike win in Friday's six-lap Senior TT race.--------------The final day of the 2019 TT is upon us, with the blue riband Senior Race getting underway shortly.

It’s been a challenging fortnight plagued by poor weather, but Thursday saw a record five races take place in a single day for the first time in history.

Peter Hickman has been the star of the meeting so far with three wins to his name - can he make it four today? Or will Dean Harrison claim his first win of the week?

You can never discount Michael Dunlop who wracked up his 19th TT win to date with victory in Thursday evening’s Lightweight.

Manxman Conor Cummins would be a hugely popular winner if he can grace the top step of the podium.

The Senior had been due to get underway at 10.30am but has been moved half an hour earlier 10am with heavy rain forecast for late morning.
