- The 2018 Isle of Man TT Races was one of the greatest ever. Two weeks of glorious weather was accompanied by close, exhilarating racing as lap and race records tumbled in every class. However, the best was saved until last with a Senior Race that is arguably one of, if not the best race ever witnessed around the TT Mountain Course.
Dean Harrison and Peter Hickman had both been forced to retire from the opening Superbike Race, the former whilst leading and after setting the first ever lap at an average speed in excess of 134mph. The pair had subsequently taken a race win each - Harrison in the second Supersport Race whilst Hickman won a record-breaking Superstock encounter with his own 134mph+ lap.
The scene was set for the duo to have a battle royale and Harrison tore out the blocks the quickest, although he only led Hickman by a slender 1.4 seconds at the end of the first lap. A pattern soon emerged, Harrison consistently stretching his lead in sectors one and two from the Grandstand to Ballaugh and Hickman clawing back the deficit thereafter - particularly from Ramsey, over the Mountain and back to the Grandstand.
Amazingly, after the second pit stop the gap between the two was still only 1.4 seconds, although it continued to ebb and flow at each timing point. At Ballaugh on the sixth and final lap, Harrison had increased his advantage to 5.7 seconds but from that moment on, Hickman began to reduce the gap.
It wasn’t until the Bungalow, with over 218-miles of the 226-mile race completed, that Hickman grabbed the lead for the first time. Ahead on the road, Harrison flashed across the line first with a new outright lap record of 134.918mph, but Hickman bettered that with a sensational 135.452mph to win by just two seconds!

This is just the best bike content literally ever produced.
This will go down in history as one of the best Senior TT races ever.... Best sport in the world
26:04 is one of the most amazing and terrifying pieces of bike control I’ve ever seen
@@forddriver8827 how many corners have you slid at 200mph pal?
@@forddriver8827 Sliding both wheels of a bike with contact patches the size of a credit card at 180mph+ round a corner on public roads is “Just another corner”? Yeah, whatever mate. Stick to driving Fords because you know jackshit about riding motorbikes.
@@TeznaGFX Stay on topic Mr Defensive. Just another corner for the riders.
@@forddriver8827 delete your comment lul get rekt
Best TT race of history, Harrison and Hickman in a titanic battle till the checkered flag, smashing lap records and even legendary riders like MD, first 135 mph lap ever made by Peter... just mesmerizing and fascinating, you being a fan of these two or not. TT has a lot of historic and awesome races, but this one? Simply unmatchable.
Joey Dunlop & John McGuiness are the best riders of the last 30 years. Hickman & Harrison are decades away from 'the best in history' as you put it.
@@forddriver8827 read it again dude. I said best RACE of history. Never said that Harrison and Hickman are the best riders ever.
Check out the 1992 ‘senior’, of formula 1 as it was called back then.
Hislop vs Fogarty.
@@JPWest020 Actually Formula 1 TT is the current Superbike TT.
@@IgorFonseca244
Yes - but it’s now referred to mostly as the Senior
At the time it was actually Formula One
Whatever: go see the ‘92 race;-)

Very exciting. Loved it.
公道レースの最高峰凄いですね。
Holy shit that was epic
Absolutely itching to see what the 2 year hiatus has done, will some benifit more than others? Will some fall back right into where they left off or take a more cautious approach over commitment, TT 2022 is gonna be one for the ages that's for sure
Very respect
These dudes are my heros. I just want to ride my s1k like hickky .
Bikers always look so cool when they leaning into a corner and u see sparks flying
Love it Much :)
Enough with this watching of this superbike Manx TT race. I'm buying one tomorrow.
Ride safe ,
See you at the TT son! You are the next Peter Hickman!
I can’t believe that the tires can control the grips on the road with that thunder speed.
Always worrying seeing potential oil on track (Hilliers blow up) after what happened to David Jefferies in 2003
As crazy skilled as all the riders are, loss of traction takes it out of their hands.
riders who do this have screws loose in there brain absolutely insane the amount of island knowledge of the track and skill involved.
Dean is a good jockey and a top lad to represent good old yorkshire go on Deano lite it up
Uolls great great riders dude,irelandengland, europe woe
Play 08:53 to 08:54 at 0.5x speed. Some deer crossed the street ahead of Michael Dunlop. This race is crazy.
Edit: looks like a bird actually
So Good brother 😘👍🏻✌🏻
오마이 갓!
2021 rewatching this one.
Love from India😍😘 🇮🇳
a very risky race, the riders are very brave.....
Amazing race! Looking forward to the TT return in 2022
Who knows what could be achieved if Harrison and Hickman were the only riders racing.
I would like to watch the competition of each year. Let you write another script
Melhor corrida do mundo😁
👍👍👍👍👍
25:12 one of the best scenes
135 miles per hour- mind boggling.
14:24 ❤️🙏🙌
мечта которая никогда не сбудется по учавствовать в этих гонках (((
Hicky sixty 🔥
I'm from the Isle of man and know what these guys @gals put on the line but I would have had 2 stop to make sure the rider was OK balls my race but!!!!!!! And it looks like they touched greetings from Douglas
Brilliant racing just a tad too many ads.
Dean Harrison 2024 on a honda is going to be fast
HE certainly looks quick 😂
This race was legendary! I was watching from Crosby jump and the atmosphere was electric
Wow
Hicky hanging it all out @26:03
Why havent these videos hit millions of views??
Because the world has always been moving towards safe spaces.
Super,Labombastic,Fantastic, Školastic!!!!!!👍👌🤝🤘👏👐😍🏍️💓🧠😇🙏🐬
He is driving to the future.
Danger 🙆♂️
Great race !! Weird question but does anyone know If the iomtt shop legit ?
if you look at the circuit, it is very dangerous, very challenging for adrenaline
😱😱
The guys getting passed are on the edge . It basically comes down to how much your willing to risk . Or don't realise how much your risking because your confidence overides your fear mechanism. Either way these guys are gladiators .
マン島でTTレースがバイクがあるなんて知らなかったです😭
BMW "BAVARIA MURDER WEAPON" ( remember Daytona 200 Reg Pridmore)

@@jonbunse9609 Err, what was that?
👍👍👍👍👍
Спасибо за удовольствие наблюдать, за самыми безбашенными байкерами. Я стал байкером на 66 ом году жизни. Побывал в аварии из за своего напарника, который ехал впереди, хромаю уже 2 месяца, но не жалею и не оставлю свой мот, он меня не подвёл.

ONE CRASH DEATH
race paling extrime di dunia yamaha semakin di depan fulll gazzz polllll yamaha r1
225.......? Where that go?
Does it takes that long time to refuel?
I thought it was some high pressure fuel hoses.
Don´t judge me I know nothing about motorcycle races
Gravity only

If it takes a while for one I trust it takes a while for all. At the end of the day - if such is true - it doesn`t matter.
How can these people ride at these Fernandina in speeds, they are freaks
very noice .
I wonted dean kawasaki won so badly!
The pittstop is the biggest inefficiency.
🏍️
If I hear Steve Plater say, "It's all to play for" one more time I'm going to sell my XZ-10R and buy a Honda Grom.
So where is your Grom? hehe, I'm a Deano fan, as well as a few other riders too!!!!!!
I'll take it off you
It'd be great if they could show the normal onboards for more than 3 seconds at a time.and the backwards onboard is just unnecessary.
What corner is at 16:00 ?
Best feeling, accelaring a 300 KLM hr bike, till it blows up on you
While I see the logic about having an empty stomach while racing here, I would think it’s in case they crash that way surgeons and drs can operate right away. Same reason why if you come across a bike accident you try not to give the victim any water even if they ask for it.
На сколько хватает колес? В чем смысл таких страшных гонок?
💯😎✌
😮😮😮😮😮😮
They really hate bugs on the isle.
fuck me hes fast!!! unreal
