With rain delaying the start of the six-lap race over the 37.73-mile road course, fans were treated to some of the most competitive racing ever seen in the event’s 100-year history. Plater battled McGuinness and fellow competitors to record his first ever Senior TT win in record time.

'This achievement will finally sink in next week as I have to turn my attention back to short circuits and the British Supersport Championship,' he said. 'I just need a bit of Plater time on my own to take it all in.'
