TT Rewind: 2013 Senior TT

With four wins from four races, the talk ahead of the 2013 Senior TT was of Michael Dunlop equalling Ian Hutchinson’s 2010 record of five wins in a week, although John McGuinness’s outright lap record set earlier in the Superbike Race, when he finished third after incurring a one-minute penalty for pit-lane speeding, meant the scene was set for a titanic scrap.
It was master versus apprentice and despite Gary Johnson taking an early lead, Dunlop held a 1.4 second lead over Honda team-mate McGuinness at the end of lap one.
McGuinness upped his pace on lap two and turned the deficit into a 2.4 second advantage as he came in for his first pit stop, a gap which extended courtesy of his Honda TT Legends crew. Lap three saw the duo practically match each other’s times and the gap at half-race distance was still only four seconds.
However, a second flawless pit stop saw McGuinness add another two seconds to his lead and it was enough to break Dunlop’s challenge as he went on to take his 20th TT win by ten seconds. The master, on this occasion, had prevailed.

23 wins and still driving.Guess John McGuiness will break Joey Dunlops record.And who knows......maybe Michael will strike back.. Maximum respect to any drivers,that's what i call having balls

[@erwiin9725]

will be interesting to see if John is that smooth on the Kawasaki and Michael on Ducati could be crazy good too

[@quazimotoscopick7085]

Peter Hickman will make it hard for all racers on the isle

[@erwiin9725]

Bruce Anstey will take part again???! :0

[@chrisclifford4109]

Quazimoto Scopick Hickman has raised the bar, but I think if Dunlop has enough bike time / healthy / has a good setup on the Ducati he can raise it once again. Dunlop / Harrison / Hickman are the big 3 now. Between them they hold the lap records for all classes at the TT and the top three outright lap records

[@erwiin9725]

@@chrisclifford4109 i think Cummins counts as a big one too
