Dunlop made the decisive break on the run to the Bungalow section of the mountain, his lead extending to 2.7s over Hickman. But traffic in the form of Padgetts Racing Honda’s Davey Todd, Ian Hutchinson on his Russell Racing Yamaha and McGuinness on the run to Glen Helen posed a major problem for Hickman. Dunlop’s advantage on his MD Racing Yamaha swelled to close to a second through the first sector split on the mountain at the Bungalow, but Hickman had cut that back down to half a second as he started the final lap.

Roger Stockton, 56 and his 21-year-old son Bradley from Crewe in Cheshire both died following an incident during the second lap of Friday's race.

The risks there are still higher than at almost any other circuit, especially during amateur track days, but safety changes were made to lower that risk, much like with changing the runoff at Eau Rouge in Spa. A win at the Nurburgring 24 hours is still the same, a win at Le Mans or Monaco or the Indy 500 win is still considered iconic. The improved measures this year show that organizers understand the problem but with accidents still proving lethal, there has to be more that can be done, including ultimately changing the course. To do it, the competitors have to trust their skills and the skills of those around them. Monday, Davy Morgan was killed in the Supersport race, bringing the total to three at the event's halfway point. Mark Purslow, a 29-year-old from Wales, was the first rider to die this year during a Supersport practice session. At 37.7 miles long, calling the Isle of Man course the Nordschliefe of motorcycle racing is a bit of an understatement. Since 1980, there have only been two years people didn't die in a racing crash during the Isle of Man TT. Since 1937, there has been one year when the course was run where there wasn't some kind of death, including of marshals and spectators. You have to believe you are not about to see a broken body, a fireball, a disaster. There are risky sports that are watched (ski jumping, most motorsports, the Tour de France, etc) but there are no events as consistently lethal as the TT that is accepted. They choose racing for the love of it, not because they're being directed there by a team or the organizers or big-time sponsors. The world-famous motorcycle race is one of the few remaining motorsport events where death is seen as an acceptable price to pay for the high-speed show bikers put on every year. Five riders have died during the Isle of Man TT so far in 2022, with another hospitalized in critical condition.
