Comments: Years and years i've been waiting to take a shot from this part of the course.
I'm still not happy with what I got but you just can't keep going to the Goosenecks or Signposts as everyone is bored to tears with photos from the same places year in year out.

John rides everything with that early acquired 250 GP style smoothness, no knee dragging heroics just the fastest line using all the road.

Rider: Ian Hutchinson

Location: Bray Hill - Superbike TT - 3rd June 2006

Camera: Canon EOS 1D MK2 - 20-35mm

Comments: Bray Hill first lap Superbike TT.
Imagine, full tank of fuel, cold tyres, only 10 seconds and 5 gear changes up the box and already over 150mph, the bike bouncing and shaking its head in protest to what must be the nearest thing to a bungee jump on two wheels.

Honda didn't have it all there own way, once again it was Bruce Anstey who was the culprit, snatching a fifth TT victory from Ian Hutchinson on a Kawasaki by 8.3 seconds with Jason Griffiths a strong third.
With Moly and Craig Hallam out of the sidecars, all eyes turned to the other local pairing of Nick Crowe and Darrin Hope, it promised to be a close race with some pundits expecting ex World Champions Klaus Klaffenblock and Christian Parzer to be on the pace for a podium finish.
It was Crowe and Hope who took the chequered flag though by 47 seconds from Steve Norberry and Scott Parnell.
The first two positions were repeated in Wednesdays B race with Crowe bringing his tally of wins up to three.
And it was veteran sidecar campaigner Roy Hanks partnered by Dave wells who completed the podium to celebrate 40 years of competing at the TT, I think you would have to measure the total mileage Roy must have clocked up in light years.
