2012 Tourist Trophy Isle of Man.

[Marc The Bike]

129.2 mph es una gran vuelta en Stock, realmente ha apretado de valiente Dunlop (aunque el record es 130.7 de Hutchy). Decía que ha estado a punto de perder la rueda delantera un par de veces, iba bastante al límite de sus posibilidades.

McPint comentaba que se quedaba sin gasolina en el último trozo de montaña e iba conservando, o eso me ha parecido entender. 19 victorias...si obtiene la 20 (su mejor oportunidad el Senior) este año no es descabellado que alcance las 26 de Joey en las próximas dos o tres ediciones...wow!

Bonetti 12º a 2 minutos!!! Carrerira un excelente 21º y Maeso 40º, todo un logro con la KTM!!

Por cierto, uno mira los speedtraps, está lleno de BMWs y Kawas que llegan a los 300km/h

Maeso acaba 39º (curioso, su dorsal era ese). Histórica carrera para él y para KTM. Si señor.

McGuinness... lo dije el otro día, no sé si por aquí o por otro foro... este año llega a las 20... y las supera. Tremendo.

Otra estatuilla para Maeso...

Lo mejor para Antonio, es que ha cumplido con KTM, y el objetivo se ha cumplido. Por lo que se ha visto, las mejores maquinas de STK eran las Kawa y BMW, al menos en cuanto a velocidad se refiere.

Y McGuiness, como gane el Senior ya es la repera limonera. Y ojo que aunque en las TT Zero el mas rapido ha sido Rutter, nunca se sabe.

Grande McGuinness, creo que hasta que supere a Dunlop no va a parar, aver con cuantas victorias acaba este año. Por cierto dentro de 10 minutos deberían empezar con el resumen de la carrera de supersport aqui: http://www.filmon.com/tv/htmlmain/#ITV4

BRUCE ANSTEY CLINCHES THRILLING VICTORY IN MONSTER ENERGY SUPERSPORT 1 TT RACE
Bruce Anstey won one of the most thrilling races in Isle of Man TT history when he took the first Monster Energy Supersport race on Monday afternoon by just 0.77s from fellow Antipodean Cameron Donald. Once long time leader Michael Dunlop retired on the third lap, there was never more than a couple of seconds between Anstey, Donald and Gary Johnson with only the smallest margin - 0.62 - separating the trio at Ramsey Hairpin on the final lap. However, Johnson ran out of fuel on the final drop down the Mountain and Anstey’s final lap of 126.634mph was enough for him to come home for his 9th TT win, ten years after his first back in 2002.

A road traffic accident caused a two hour delay to proceeding but, with conditions all around the Mountain Course perfect, when it did it was the two Dunlops, Michael and William that were fastest out of the blocks. Michael led through Glen Helen on the opening lap - albeit by just 0.25s and, in typical Supersport fashion, it was close across the top ten. Johnson was in third, 1.5s adrift, and he was followed by Donald, Anstey, Ryan Farquhar and John McGuinness with just a further 1.5s splitting 3rd to 7th.

Michael Dunlop was really pressing on and with a lead of 5.48s at Ramsey, it was almost inevitable he would lead at the end of the opening lap and this he duly did. A lap of 126.258mph gave him a 10.07s lead over new second place rider Donald with William just 0.35s back in third. Johnson, Anstey and local hope Dan Kneen completed the top six but it was still close with only six seconds separating second to eighth. One man not in the mix though was Guy Martin, the Tyco Suzuki rider pulling in at the end of the first lap and with Conor Cummins having again withdrawn from the day’s racing, it wasn’t a good day for the Irish team.

Irish eyes were smiling on Michael Dunlop though at the head of the field and with the fastest lap of the race, 126.948mph, his lead increased to almost 22 seconds at half race distance. Johnson took over the runner-up spot when they came into the pits to refuel and William was still in third with Anstey now up to fourth ahead of Donald. Kneen, McGuinness and Farquhar were still in contention and despite 75 miles having been completed, there was still only 11 seconds separating the seven riders in 2nd to 8th.

Things began to change on the third lap and when Michael Dunlop was reported late Glen Helen, it handed the lead to Johnson with an advantage of 3.5s over new second placed man Donald. Anstey was a further second back and William Dunlop a similar gap behind in fourth. McGuinness had overhauled Kneen by 0.3s to move into fifth whilst news came through that Michael Dunlop had stopped at Ballig Bridge.

As the leaders tore around the final 37.73 miles, positions were changing at almost every timing point and although the order remained the same at Ramsey, the gap between the trio was now a mere 0.62s. The race was anyone’s but at the Bungalow, Anstey had taken over the lead as Johnson dropped back but as Donald crossed the line first, the result was still in doubt. Anstey flashed over the line to grab the win from Donald by 0.77s, the second closest finish after Mark Baldwin’s 0.6s victory over the late Mick Lofthouse in 1995.

Johnson was in trouble though and as he ran out of fuel on the drop down the Mountain, he pushed in to eventually finish in 28th place and William Dunlop took advantage to clinch the final podium spot, his first top three finish around the Mountain Course. Farquhar overtook McGuinness as he circulated with Donald but the Irishman also ran out of fuel on the final lap at Creg ny Baa and so McGuinness took fourth ahead of James Hillier, who recorded his best ever TT finish, and the consistent Ian Lougher.

Roy Richardson, the first of the privateers, was a hundredth of a second back in seventh with the top ten completed by Dan Stewart, Ian Hutchinson and Ivan Lintin, the latter posting his best ever TT finish as well as a first ever 120mph+ lap. Daniel Cooper also had a great ride in 11th while other high profile retirements including Ben Wylie and Dean Harrison.

The results mean Anstey now leads the TT Championship with 41 points closely followed by Donald on 40 and McGuinness on 38. The Privateers Championship is now led by Stewart on 33 points followed by Richardson and Harrison who have 25 points apiece.

JOHN MCGUINNESS MOVES CLOSER TO JOEY DUNLOP’S OUTRIGHT RECORD WITH VICTORY IN ROYAL LONDON 360 SUPERSTOCK TT RACE

John McGuinness made it TT win number nineteen when he led the Royal London 360 Superstock race from start to finish. After numerous podiums, it was his first win in the class and he beat Michael Dunlop by 7.8s, the Northern Irishman overhauling fellow countryman Ryan Farquhar in the closing stages of the race.

The evening start time of 6.30pm saw perfect conditions around the Mountain Course although the sun that had caused problems during practice again proved awkward for riders.

McGuinness blasted away on the Padgetts Honda and led through Glen Helen but, as with the morning’s Monster Energy Supersport race, it was again tight and his lead over second placed James Hillier was just half a second. Gary Johnson was a further eight tenths of a second back with Farquhar right on his tail, the gap between the two only 0.03s.

As the lap progressed, it was clear it was becoming a fight between McGuinness and Farquhar and as they flashed across the line for the first time, the Morecambe man narrowly led but it was close - the gap between the two a negligible 0.17s. Guy Martin on the Tyco Suzuki was up to third as the morning’s Supersport winner Bruce Anstey, Michael Rutter and Hillier completed the top six. Dunlop, meanwhile, was down in eighth after a slow first lap.

At Glen Helen second time around, there was still only 0.3s in it but at Ramsey, McGuinness eked out a 2.88s lead and it appeared that he was just beginning to edge away. However, fuel problems meant he had to nurse the bike home on the run down the Mountain but, nevertheless, a lap of 128.806mph gave him a near four second lead coming into the pit stop. Anstey had now moved into third and, with a 128mph+ lap, Dunlop was up to fourth pushing Martin, who changed a tyre at his stop, down to fifth with Rutter now in sixth.

Powering around the third lap, McGuinness’ advantage continued to build and all eyes were now focused on the battle for second. Dunlop had overhauled Anstey and was within eight seconds of fellow Kawasaki man Farquhar. Martin and Hillier were still in fifth and sixth.

At Glen Helen for the final time, McGuinness’ lead was up to 14.6s whilst the gap between Farquhar and Dunlop was now down to 5.9s. Indeed, Dunlop was putting a superb lap, which would eventually be 129.253mph, the fastest of the race, and at Ramsey the deficit was down to half a second. With Farquhar suffering an oil leak, he had to slightly reduce his pace and that, combined with Dunlop’s effort, meant that Dunlop edged ahead on the final Mountain climb.

McGuinness, wary of the fuel problem from earlier, used his head and rode slightly cautiously over the final few miles to take his second win of the week by just under eight seconds. Dunlop’s 129mph lap saw him get his first podium of the week. It was also the first finish of the week for the KMR Kawasaki man, less than five seconds behind Dunlop.

Anstey, Martin and Hillier took the next three places with Rutter, Gary Johnson, Dan Stewart and Cameron Donald completing the top ten.

The results mean that McGuinness has gone back to the top of the TT Championship with 63 points to Anstey’s 54 and Donald’s 46. Meanwhile, Stewart was again the lead privateer and he has opened up a healthy lead in the Privateer’s Championship with 63 points compared to second placed Stefano Bonetti’s 36.

All eyes will now be on Wednesday’s second Supersport Race and while John McGuinness will not start favourite in the 600cc class, he cannot be ruled out on this form. A number of leading riders currently empty handed will be looking to make their mark on this year’s meeting with Cameron Donald and the Dunlop brothers in particular keen to record their first victories this year while Bruce Anstey will be hoping to add to his Supersport 1 Race victory earlier in the day
