John McGuinness has won the 2015 Isle of Man Senior TT with a sensational speed of 132.701mph (213.562 kmph) as he came home 14.2s clear of James Hillier in the Senior race with Ian Hutchinson in third.
The forty-three-year-old Brit took his 23rd TT victory shattering Bruce Anstey’s outright lap record from last year’s Superbike race, after the original race was red flagged on the second lap and a shortened four lap race was restarted at 2.45pm.
The Honda Racing rider took the lead from Hillier at the Bungalow on the opening lap and when Hutchinson made a mistake at Signpost Corner just before the solitary pit stop, he was able to pull away for his seventh Senior race victory.
An opening lap of 131.850 mph (212.192 kmph) – the fastest ever from a standing start – gave McGuinness a 1.2s lead over Hutchinson with Hillier back to third, a further 1.8s back. Anstey, Dunlop and Hickman filled out the top six, the latter having posted his first ever 130mph+ (209 kmph +) lap, with Martin getting going in seventh.
McGuinness was in full control of the race and all eyes were on the battle for second as Hillier took over the second podium position at Ballaugh, extending his gap to Hutchinson to four seconds as they rounded Ramsey Hairpin for the final time.
It was all about McGuinness though and the Honda man duly came home for his 23rd TT victory, equalling the seven Senior TT wins of Mike Hailwood. Hillier completed his excellent week in second, also lapping inside the old lap record at 132.414mph (213.099 kmph), with Hutchinson holding onto third from Martin. With 23 victories, McGuinness is just three short of the all-time record set by the late Joey Dunlop.
