On Friday, John McGuinness broke the IOM lap record on lap two, with a speed of 131.578mph, breaking the recent record set just the previous week during practice by Cameron Donald. Unfortunately he also broke his chain on lap four, allowing teamate Steve Plater through to take the 2009 Senior TT win with a fastest lap of 130.490mph. Plater took the overall IOM points total for the week, winning the Joey Dunlop Championship Trophy. Runners at the back of the pack were flagged to a stop on lap 5 when rain started on the west side of the circuit. Sadly, lap 5 also saw a fatal crash on the Mountain taking the life of veteran roadracer, 58 year old John Crellin.
