PokerStars Senior TT victory with records smashed

There has been a record-breaking climax to TT 2018.

Peter Hickman is the PokerStars Senior TT winner, absolutely shattering the outright lap record in the process.

Hickman completed his sixth and final lap at an average speed of 135.452 miles per hour - breaking Dean Harrison's lap record set during Saturday's Superbike race by more than a whole mile per hour.

That makes him the fastest road racer in the world, beating the best average lap speed at the Ulster Grand Prix in the process.

Harrison finished second this time round, just two seconds behind Hickman - also breaking his own outright lap record with a pace of 134.918 set on his final lap.

Harrison led for the first five laps of the race, only to be pipped to the post at the finish.

Manxman Conor Cummins grabbed a second podium in this week's two 'big bike' races, finishing third.

Hickman gave his response to Chris Kinley:
