    Hickman or Harrison? Who will take top honours?

  5. Lap 5/6

    Right, if we're going to see any lap records today then this will be the next one will be the lap to do it.

    3. Dunlop +28.066

    4. Cummins +1:09.508

    Meanwhile, up in Ramsey, Harrison is at the hairpin.

    Now Hickman has passed Dunlop his lead is up to 12.693 seconds. Not insurmountable but Harrison is running out of time with a lap-and-a-half to go!

    Dunlop is tagging along with Hickman and is 28 seconds off Harrison.

    Further back, we're hearing that Michael Rutter has pulled off at Glen Vine on his RCV Honda.

  10. Lap 5/6

    Hickman overtakes Dunlop on the road!

    He picked his moment and drafted his way past on the long, high-speed run down the Sulby Straight.

    2. Harrison +12.109

    3. Dunlop +27.632

    4. Cummins +1:06.772

    5. Brookes +20.181

  12. Lap 5/6

    Harrison is at Ballaugh already. This is flying by. It's hard to believe the riders have been out there, in that heat, for more than an hour now.

    This is a proper race of attrition.

    Hickman arrives at Ballaugh on the back wheel of Dunlop! He looked to make the move out of Kirk Michael but couldn't make it stick.

    The lead is up to 12.109 seconds, in the bigger picture. That draft off Dunlop is working wonders.

    3. Dunlop +28.214

  14. Lap 5/6

    Harrison, who was a couple of seconds quicker than Hickman in the pits again, arrives at Glen Helen for the penultimate time.

    Dunlop and Hickman arrive at the timing beam together, and Hickman#s lead is down to 9.303!

    Dunlop is now 28 seconds back off the lead. It looks like he'll have to settle for third place.

  15. Lap 4/6

    It was a smooth pitstop for Harrison, who was out and away before Dunlop and Hickman even arrived at the Grandstand.

    There's no problems either for Dunlop and Hickman, who leave the pits line astern.

    This is 'nail-biting time' for the members of the riders' teams and their families as the finishing line comes clearer into sight but the machines are being given the most thorough of examinations around a gruelling 226 miles.

    Peter Hickman is within touching distance of a fourth TT win of the week and once again bolstering his reputation as the best 'all-rounder' in British motorcycling sport, given his regular impressive performances on British Superbikes short circuits.
