John McGuinness set the fastest lap on the opener with a 17m 46.77s. @ a speed of 127.326 mph a new lap record.

McGuinness - " I just followed the old maestro around at the end, there is still a lot of fire in him yet", I wonder what Ian Lougher will think about that ?

"McGuinness again " You will find me in the gutter at 4 in the morning, eating me chips along with the seagulls". As he ponders having a few beers after his win !!!!!!

Richard Britton " I must have the worst bloody luck on the Island. We have nothing left now as we have broken everything this week. I am gobsmacked, I thought I would get on the podium at least once. The team have put everything into this. I think I'll go and have a few beers now".

Jun Maeda - Such a happy guy as he takes his best ever placing saying "Thank You" to everyone around him.

Chris Palmer - " Yeah, I came in for the pit stop at the end of lap 4, I didn't know if it would get me home as the clutch was slippping, I am just so glad to make it home, if it wasn't slipping I could have done better".

A brilliant TT for Guy Martin who wil go home with 5 silver replicas after his second only visit.

Jun Maeda must be a happy man after this years racing. All the way from Japan with all his bikes and he goes home with a clutch of silver replicas.
