To say that Michael Dunlop rode to an impressive win on Friday’s Senior TT, might be an understatement. While winning the Senior TT is his second TT race win for the 2016 Isle of Man TT, Dunlop’s true accomplishment can be found on the time sheets, with his record-breaking pace.
A fortnight of records dropping, this year’s Senior TT was no different, and Dunlop set not only the fastest lap of the Senior TT race, but also the fastest lap of any Senior TT race ever held at the Isle of Man TT: 133.962 mph.
This mark is also the fastest lap ever recorded during an Isle of Man TT race, and is the fastest outright lap ever at the Isle of Man TT. In other words, this is the new mark that all other riders will aspire to surpass in the coming years.
The TT hasn’t posted Dunlop’s record-breaking lap from the Senior TT yet, but you can watch the one he set from Monday’s Superbike TT, right here.
With the feud brewing between Ian Hutchinson and Michael Dunlop, we can expect more fireworks at the Isle of Man TT in fortnights to come. A 134 mph lap, or even faster, is possible if the conditions are just right.
