John McGuinness takes a historic win in the Senior TT race aboard the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP. The victory is McGuinness's 23rd TT win and his seventh in the Senior TT.

The six-lap battle originally got underway in perfect conditions at 12.30, however a red flag incident on the second rotation meant the race was restarted at 14.45 and shortened to four laps.
