Peter Hickman scores his 13th career Isle of Man TT victory in the Senior TT finale, while Michael Dunlop misses out on the all-time record after struggling to third. Full report: TT2023
The Englishman decided on Friday morning that he would be racing his Superbike-spec M1000RR BMW in the Senior TT having struggled on it throughout the fortnight.
It means Dunlop will have to wait another year to match the all-time win tally of 26 set by his late uncle Joey Dunlop in 2000. From a standing start, Hickman posted a 135.349mph and improved that to a 135.507mph on lap two before heading into pitlane for the first of two stops. But by Glen Helen on lap four, Hickman’s lead had grown again to 11.3s and stretched to 12.3s as he pitted for a second time.
But it did nothing to put the Hawk Racing rider back into the battle, with Hickman – who set off 40s behind Dunlop on the road – overtaking him on track into Sulby Bridge on lap five.
