When Enda rocked up to the first TT of the season to reveal a fluorescent dave kane skin suit one would have been very much mistaken to think this wouldn’t become one of the fastest growing trends the TT league would have seen since the pointy helmets were launched some years before.
Emma would appear to be one of the few sticking with the more traditional rear light option, however, the start line was maybe not the best time for deciding where the most aero position would be to locate it.
Before the off it wasn’t fancied as being a particularly fast night but the stopwatch differed with the top 6 all coming in under the 26 minute mark and the course record obliterated by Mark Kane making a guest appearance. Mike took second spot and Vaughan, making a rare appearance this season, took third.
It was Judith who again topped the ladies podium even after towing her husband down the final stretch who, having closed the 30 second deficit, just couldn’t make the pass or maybe he just wasn’t allowed ?
Next week could see the aero gizmo's set to one side as we head for the drumbo hill climb.
