This race was run over a single lap on Wednesday; the winner was M. Rutter beating John McGuinness by 1.6 seconds.
What is really amazing was that John McGuiness did an unofficial 109 mph practice lap from a standing start last week, this is truly amazing considering it is faster than Hailwood’s 108 mph lap on the 500 Honda in 1967 :!:
Stop press!!; Rutter did do officially a 1.9 mph lap;
“And just as a further proof that these electric bikes get better and better by the year, Rutter managed to lap the TT around 5 mph (8 km/h) faster than he did last year, recording an average lap speed of 109.675 mph (176.467 km/h). McGuinness' best lap speed on his Mugen Shinden Ni was 109.527 mph (176.228 km/h), really close to the Czysz, but just not enough.”
