Micky D nearly leads by 10 secs at Ramsey from Martin now on lap 2
Biggest question now if Micky D's Kwaka will hold together Micky D leads Guy Martin by 13 secs at the end of lap 2 Gary Johnson retires at the Creg-ny-Baa McGuinness now battling Martin for 2nd while Micky D still blows away with some 17.7 secs over Martin now McGuinness takes second from Martin at Ramsey on lap 3 Micky D ads from McG by 17.7 secs at the end of lap 3 . Martin 3.4 sec down from McG at the grandstand Last edited by Andy77; 6 Jun 2011 at 18:26. |

Micky D leads by 19.07 sec from Mcg on final lap at Ramsey. Martin follows a further 5 sec down
Michael Dunlop takes the flag to his 2nd TT victory by 18.62 secs from John McGuinness. Martin follows in 3rd a tad more than 4 secs down from McGuinness Cograts to Micky D after all the disappointment he went through. Have a nice evening everyone. I am waiting to tape the Supersport race review later on ITV4. See you on Wednesday for the Supesport Race, Sidecar Race B and the TTzero race.

Race schedule of today has been delayed due to mist over the mountain. The whole schedule moves 1h ahead so the Supersport Race B is planned to start from 0645 EST / 1045 UTC / 1145 BST / 1245 CEST. With more rain to come from the west. It ain't sounding promising so far

After one and a half lap of the Supersports , racing was abandoned today due to rain. At least the Arai parade lap could take place
However, Racing is rescheduled to commence tomorrow from 1230BST / 1330 CEST with the Supersport B race. |

Gary Johnson takes his maiden victory at the TT from John McGuinness by 8.4 secs. Guy Martin follows in third 21.33 secs down from the winner
Happy congrats Gary Johnson Aussie Cam Donald challenged Johnson and got the lead down to 10 secs at the start of the final lap but then had to retire at Signpost Corner, just seconds away from finish line. Sidecars getting ready for their 2nd race in about 40 minutes |

Micky D had to stop at Ballacraine on lap 1. He then fixed whatever the prob was and continued. William couldn't go the pace at all.
Guess the Dunlop brothers are wet racers who usually have their stern races under most difficult conditions. Plus I think that the older (2009) machinery might be an advantage in wet conditions. |

Cheers Andy - I was so pleased Michael got that win the other day on the big bike in the dry, am hoping it will be the breakthrough for him as he is a proper animal of a racer. I think William did the last ever 250 GP, does Michael race on thee tracks do you know?
Also what happened to the 250 & 125 races, have they been gone for a while? Oh and if Rutter wins a Zero leccy TT will it really count as a TT win - discuss! |

Eversince the 250cc was replaced by the Moto2 class and when it became clear that the 125cc will be changed to Moto3, these classes were axed. I find it a shame coz especially there upcoming young riders could show off their talent there without gotten broken in the big bikes class. Mark Miller, last years Zero TT winner, was referred to as a TT winner throughout the last 1.5 weeks on TT radio so I guess whoever will win it can call himself a TT winner BTW it looks pretty good for Klaffi/Sayle to add a forth in a row at the TT |

Sidecar race 2 finishes with the maiden victory for John Holden and Andy Winkle.
Harrison/Aylott and Elmer/Marshall completing the podium. Elmer/Marshall beat Reeves/Cluze by 0.08 of a second for third place Klaffenböck/Sayle must have gotten into trouble on the last lap since he dropped by 1:30 min out of his lead on final lap. Great to see Holden / Winkle up there especially after last years 2nd race where Klaffi took it over the mountain by the small margin of just one second. I am absolutely delighted for Holden / Winkle . Great stuff |
