Words by 'Bullet' Barber.
All the TT races are going to be hard this year as I’m on a standard 750 in the 1000 superstock race and the Triumph is std in the Junior race. Even so I managed a 115.403mph on my opening lap. I rode as hard as I could, passing 3 people on my first lap. Second lap I was again steady with an 115.094mph. The pit stop was good only problem was my strap on the fresh helmet hadn’t clicked in properly so it was slapping my neck and distracting me a little bit. Bruce Anstey was the first person to lap me at Cronke-vodde Straight, I hung with him until Hanleys. Second to Lap me was John McGuinness at Kirk Micheal so I followed him to Bishops court, it was really good learning from them.
Martin Finnegan and Ian Hutchinsons passed me into Sign post corner. Again I followed them through the nook and start and finish which caught me out alittle bit as I seen the chequed flag. Only lost about 2 seconds before I got my head down again. I was really feeling tired now so I rode as hard as I could to finish 47th the fastest 750 with a race time of 1hr 19min 52secs with and average speed of 113.378mph.
I’m out on the Robinson Triumph tomorrow in the junior so I will keep you posted.
