Wow! What a cracking Superbike race. MD from a standing start is what finished them, the first 2, maybe 3 laps was all it took. Cracking last lap from Hicky especially with the QS and brake issues but whether it would have made any odds who knows, I think MD would have upped it even more if needed, poor Harrison again getting pipped for second place again.

The lap speed was the final lap.

MD did a 135mph lap from a standing start to begin with.

Wow, that's some MASSIVE gaps after top 3. !!!

Fantastic race...MD so quick out the blocks, up to about 20sec lead I think. But jeez, hicky gets quicker as the race goes on. MD did ease off but managed it perfect I think.

It needed a 7th lap.

I also reckon JM is doing a fantastic job. Top man.

I wonder what MD could do on the final flying lap if he had to, if Hicky was either right there or even leading I think we’d see something incredible.

MD aboard the Superstock bike during the first week

Really pleased for Wavey (Dave Hewson) too- I have massive respect for anyone who can ride 6 laps around there at race pace, and 120+ mph laps is some going, good on ya Dave!

I enjoy Wavey's You Tube channel,always entertaining

I got settled down for the Superstock race at 11.45 & it's delayed due to fog & mist on the mountain...
I'll watch Wavey Davey's upload whilst waiting for the fog & mist to clear

Still delayed. Was rescheduled for 12:40 but put off some more.

Provisional schedule : Coverage to start at 14:15hrs

They’ve not long set off on their warm up lap

2.45...how come 3 laps. ???

Probably because they have to open the roads by a certain time so can't do the full number of laps

Think all stock races are 3 laps instead of 4 this year. New schedule maybe, senior on Saturday etc.

Stockers just as quick as superbikes around here aswel and maybe less issues.

They have to pit after 1 lap as well.

Fantastic supersport race.
