Tourist Trophy 2017: Michael Dunlop wins the Senior TT on the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 !
The final race of the Tourist Trophy 2017 (the Senior TT) was won yesterday Friday by Michael Dunlop, also winner of the Supersport race last weekend. The Northern Irish rider won the new GSX-R1000 2017, tested and approved beforehand by MNC on the Philipp Island circuit in Australia! Peter Hickman and Dean Harisson climb the podium.
Ian Hutchinson, big favorite after his victory in the first Superbike RST race, fell on his S1000RR during this Senior TT, leaving the field open to Dunlop: the BMW rider, helicoptered to the hospital, suffered from a fractured femur. Peter Hickman on BMW and Dean Harisson on Kawasaki complete this very colorful podium (Hamamatsu yellow, Munich blue and white and Akashi green) !

Among the highlights of this 2017 edition, let us quote the delicate weather conditions which caused the successive postponement of several races and especially the… But also the astonishing decision of Honda to withdraw on the eve of the Senior TT with its pilot Guy Martin. .. The atmosphere seems tense between the local star and the winged crest, not very happy with the successive falls of Guy Martin (he got drunk before the TT and then during the first Superbike race) and his comments on the new CBR1000RR.
In short, an edition to forget for Honda, knowing that their second headliner – John McGuinness – had to forfeit due to injuries contracted to the North West 200. Not the best introduction to the new CBR1000RR SP2, when the new Gex will instead be able to capitalize on its victory in the "TT".
Note also the victory of Bruce Anstey in the SES TT Zero category, the race reserved for electric motorcycles. He wins in front of his team-mate Guy Martin and Daley Mathison on the Sarolea.
