Michael Rutter has pulled over at Ramsey hairpin - but after looking at something on his BMW he shoots off away up the mountain once more. Not many people have more laps under their belt than Rutter.
At Ramsey on lap four of six
Almost seven seconds is the lead at Ramsey - 6.977 to be precise. Dean Harrison is bang on it again, he's close to lap record pace on this one...
Good crowds everywhere on the island today, as ever...

Craig has got faith in the remarkable Michael Dunlop but I think this may be beyond even him...
Dean Harrison is Flying! Micky D will finish on the podium.

Dean Harrison and Conor Cummins are at Glen Helen, and are up against some backmarkers already. Traffic problems.
It's looking good for Dean Harrison then, but Peter Hickman will back himself to find six seconds in the second half of the race. Plenty of time left...
At the end of lap three of six
Peter Hickman hasn't given this up. He has shaved the lead to 5.8 seconds...
Here come the riders at the start/finish line...
PROOF:
At the Bungalow (up the mountain, on the right hand side of this map), Dean Harrison's lead was 6.2 seconds. Hickman is FAST up that climb.

Let's go top five from now, yeah? It's looking rosy for Dean Harrison who now leads by 8.2 seconds. That's sizeable, but remember that he fried his clutch in the Superbike race and had to retire. So anything could happen.
Dunlop is now 10 seconds back from Cummins. A 50th win for the Dunlop family looks very unlikely today.
Lee Johnston, Hutchy's team-mate in the official Honda team, was a retirement at the pits. The leaders are coming in to Ramsey now on lap three...
Dean Harrison has opened up his lead to 5.4 seconds at Ballaugh. There are some waved yellow flags in the opening part of the course which explains why the lap times are ever so slightly down.
Harrison is at Ballaugh - I think he may be leading on the road now as well.
The Isle of Man is the place to be today.
At Glen Helen on lap three of six
Harrison leads by 4.8 seconds now. He really did have a good pit stop, he's pulled the best part of three seconds there!
