Second race in and already the battle lines are being drawn on the TT Map. The "no nonsense" McHenry almost did not put his stake on the map at all when he missed the start not once but twice.
Stephen McWilliams on his bike built using US military stealth technology came close to Paul Carroll's last year course record which stands at 26.39. One would not bet on that record standing for long.
Vaughan's season got off to a flat start and left him feeling a bit deflated (and is now writing in the third person as a result). A puncture 3 miles in put an end to his night and put a few grins on some peoples faces; such a sporting bunch! Thanks to the man across the road for providing a pump.
