    Harrison is closing in the slipstream....but just can't make a move!

    Hickman is on the back wheel of Harrison, and Dunlop is back in the mix too!

    What a final lap!

    The Honda looks so good on the brakes, but so unstable with the rest of it.

    Only for Dean Harrison on the factory Honda, the top seven would be a BMW Cup.

    Lap 4/4

    When do you make your move? This is high speed chess!

    Dunlop has slipped back out of York, but the top three is anyone's guess!

    One seconds splits the top four!

    It's Todd from Harrison, Hickman and Dunlop.

    Just 8.9 miles to go!

    Lap 3/4

    This is going to be a final lap shootout!

    ickman is now right with Todd and Harrison, and Dunlop isn't a million miles away either.

    Strap in, folks.

    Lap 3/4

    The top two hold station into Mather's Cross. Hickman is now starting to reel in the top two.

    This is anyone's race with a lap and a half to go.

    Harrison got alongside but fell back in as he pulled out of the slipstream.

    Todd holds him off into University, but Harrison is bang on this!

    Lap 3/4

    Harrison is so much closer to Todd through Mill Road.

    He'll surely be able to make a move on the long run to Coleraine on this lap.

    At the minute, Dean Harrison is in the best seat.

    He is just happy to sit with Davey Todd. He is not going to want to do too much and show Todd around.

    Lap 2/4

    Harrison is all over Todd at the line! Just 0.3 seconds between them!

    Hickman is 2.5 seconds back, and Dunlop is just off the podium.

    This race is on!

    Todd still leads into Juniper as Harrison holds back.

    Lap 2/4

    Here comes Harrison! He shapes for a move into Metropole but Todd wins the battle on the brakes!

    Lap 2/4

    Harrison is right with Todd now into Mather's Cross!

    Both men are looking for a first Superbike win.

    Lap 2/4

    What can Dean Harrison do about Todd? He's still with him but not close enough to make the move, and Dunlop is still all over the back of Hickman.

    The top four are well clear of the chasing pack.

    The gap between Dean Harrison and Davey Todd is definitely closer than the gap between Peter Hickman and Harrison so Dean has had a very strong second half to the first lap.

    Lap 2/4

    Todd and Harrison are breaking further clear, with Hickman still holding off Dunlop into York.

    Lap 1/4

    They cross the line for the first time!

    Todd leads by 0.854 seconds ahead of Dean Harrison, with Peter Hickman and Michael Dunlop together over the line!

    Ian Hutchinson is up to fifth ahead of Jamie Coward and Erno Kostamo.

    Lap 1/4

    It's been some first lap for Todd but Dean Harrison is now with his by the time they reach Portrush!

    Dunlop is right on the tail of Peter Hickman.

    Seeley has dropped out of the picture with an issue on the first lap.

    Davey Todd has a massive advantage, but I don't think in this race he can hang onto it for long.
