Dean Harrison is absolutely on fire this year as shown again in this Supersport race :


In a hotly contested superstock race Peter Hickman got his first top step podium Isle of Man TT win beating Michael Dunlop by approximately 4.5 seconds with a best lap and new Superstock record of 134.403 mph – no that is not a misprint, and no that was not on a superbike! Amazing stuff from Hicky on his Smiths Racing BMW!



Rest in peace Adam, ride free.

ACU Events Ltd regrets to confirm that Adam Lyon, 26, from Helensburgh in Scotland was killed in an incident during the Supersport 1 Race today at the Isle of Man TT Races. The accident occurred at Casey’s, just after the 28th mile of the course, on the 3rd lap of the race.
Adam was a newcomer to the TT this year. He qualified in 24th place for today’s race with a fastest lap of 122.261 which he improved to 122.636mph on the opening lap of today’s race. His fastest lap of the TT course – 123.443 – was in Friday’s Superbike qualifying session.
Adam lapped at 122.499 as a newcomer at the Ulster Grand Prix in 2017, finishing 11thin the second Supersport race. He finished sixth in the 2010 Pirelli National Superstock 600 Championship with podiums at Croft and Silverstone.
ACU Events Ltd wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Adam’s family and friends.

Three lap records gained by the Birchall brothers during this race – a simply outstanding achievement from 2 guys at the absolute top of their game!

And just to give it its proper place here is that 134 standing start lap from Dean Harrison – unfortunately for Dean his engine blew on him, but what an outstanding pace he was running!

Dean Harrison has taken the Isle of Man TT Lap Record – 134.432mph from a standing start but the TT is not (yet) the World’s Fastest Road Race…
Just to confirm – it’s not gone just yet. Dundrod lap record is 134.614mph (held by Dean, funnily enough!)

Here are the full results from the 2018 Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races. Run at the Billown circuit just outside of Castletown the Pre-TT Races are an amazing way to start your TT experience. It is obviously a much smaller event than the full on TT, however it is an excellent couple of days racing. This year race day was moved from Monday to Sunday and personally I think this worked really well, giving visitors some great racing on the Sunday, which was normally an empty day. Classics, superbikes and sidecars this event has it all, and deserves more visitors – so if you are over make sure to check it out and show your support.
