Harrison Dominates Senior TT to Secure Honda Victory at the Isle of Man TT
This Saturday, Dean Harrison delivered a commanding performance in the Milwaukee Senior TT, establishing a lead of more than eight seconds on the opening lap and extending his advantage as he threatened the outright lap record aboard the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. With teammate John McGuinness also running strongly, Honda looked firmly in control before a red flag halted the race following an incident elsewhere on the course. Adverse weather prevented the scheduled restart, meaning the result was declared based on the completed distance. Harrison was officially awarded victory ahead of Peter Hickman and Josh Brookes, securing Honda's fourth big-bike TT win in two years and further underlining the dominance of the Fireblade, which claimed eight of the top ten positions in the Superbike race.
