Davey Todd arrived at the Isle of Man TT this year with no wins and only one podium from a third place finish in the 2022 Superstock TT.

How things have changed for the Yorkshireman as he has blazed a trail at the 2024 TT with a couple of runner-up spots for starters, followed by a Superstock race win, then a third in today's earlier Supersport outing.

A victory in this race would be the icing very much on the cake for the Saltburn pilot - a Senior TT success on the Milwaukee BMW would be an exceedingly impressive addition to his burgeoning CV.

1. Davey Todd (BMW) Leader

2. Josh Brookes (BMW) +32.384 seconds

3. Dean Harrison (Honda) +12.261

4. James Hillier (Honda) +27.161

It's all looking good for Davey Todd, who is increasing his lead.

He's almost with Dean Harrison on the road now as they get into Ramsey for the penultimate time.

Brookes is now 32 seconds off Todd, but the Aussie has pulled three seconds on Harrison. That gap is now 12.2 seconds.

James Hillier is still fourth and, running further down the road, Mike Browne should be fifth once he reaches the hairpin.

Josh Brookes has worked his way past John McGuinness on the road, which may help explain why he lost a bit of time to Todd.

Todd has now pulled 41 seconds on Harrison at Ballaugh, and now all eyes are on Brookes....he's now 31 seconds off Todd.

The gap between second and third remains around nine seconds.

Davey Todd is now 28.795 seconds clear of Josh Brookes at Glen Helen for the third time.

Dean Harrison is now just 9.116 off the Australian, so that battle isn't over!

James Hillier is fourth, and Mike Browne was reading fifth at the Grandstand!

This has been so attritional, with both Michael Dunlop and Peter Hickman failing to finish laps one and two respectively.

There will be a nervous wit for Davey Todd and Josh Brookes, who would both be first-time winners of the Senior TT.

Dean Harrison has been here before and would dearly love to do it again!

The top three have all navigated the pit stops safely.

1. Davey Todd (BMW) Leader 134.769mph.

2. Josh Brookes (BMW) +18.698 seconds

3. Dean Harrison (Honda) +15.486

4. James Hillier (Honda) +20.099

5. John McGuinness (Honda) +12.181

Pit stop time!

Davey Todd has a big lead as he roars into the pits for the first time. He's 18.698 seconds clear of Brookes, with Harrison 15 seconds further back for third.

The Isle of Man TT feed says Peter Hickman came off his bike at Ginger Hall but is up and okay.

He was pushing like crazy and was on for a lap record before his off.

Davey Todd now has a big lead, but two laps is a long time around the Mountain Course.

There's still no sign of Peter Hickman, so here's how things stand at the Bungalow...

1. Davey Todd (BMW) Leader

2. Josh Brookes +19.301 seconds

3. Dean Harrison (Honda) +11.746

4. James Hillier (Honda) +18.892

5. John McGuinness (Honda) +11.982

With relatively little between the top contenders on the timesheets the pitstops at the end of lap two will be hugely significant.

Crucial time can be picked up or lost as the teams fuel up the bikes, change helmets or a visor and invariably change a back tyre.

Composure is the key word for those tasked with those roles and it is very much a distinctive part of the TT where races can be won and lost.

Petrol pumps are poised and jacks are at the ready...the focus is about to switch to pitlane in front of a packed grandstand.

Every second counts....

Peter Hickman hasn't come through at Ramsey hairpin......

Has our race leader hit trouble?

Traffic? What traffic?

Hickman's lead is up to 8.3 seconds at Ballaugh!

Hickman has just recorded the fastest-ever time from the Grandstand to Glen Helen. Outrageous.

He's going so well he's having to deal with a bit of traffic ahead. Can he pick his way through and stop Todd eating into his lead?

We're at Glen Helen for the second time. This pace is rapid!

It's a mega run from Peter Hickman, his lead is up to 4.8 seconds!

Brookes is still third, but now 17.2 seconds off, and is holding off Dean Harrison.

John McGuinness and Mike Browne, who got his first 130mph lap, are next!

1. Peter Hickman (BMW) Leader 135.523mph.

2. Davey Todd (BMW) +2.694 seconds

3. Josh Brookes (BMW) +13.343

4. Dean Harrison (Honda) +3.158

5. James Hillier (Honda) +17.175

Davey Todd has dragged back some time on Peter Hickman as we cross the line for the first time. The lead gap is just 2.6 seconds. That's nothing around this place.

Josh Brookes has jumped up to third! He's 13.3 seconds back but leads Dean Harrison by 3.1 seconds.

James Hillier and John McGuinness complete the top six.

It's not to be for Michael Dunlop! He's pulled off just after the Bungalow.

He was cruising over the Mountain but there's a problem and he's out.

Dean Harrison is now just five seconds behind John McGuinness on the road as they reach the Bungalow for the first time.

Peter Hickman is now 3.1 clear of Todd, who has now caught James Hillier.

We're waiting to see Michael Dunlop appear on our timing screens. Has something happened to Dunlop?

Peter Hickman is absolutely on one here. A man on a mission.

He's recorded the fastest-ever sector from Ballaugh Bridge to Ramsey. That is rapid for the first lap!
