John McGuinness won his 21st TT race when he took the SES TT Zero race in record-breaking style.
Riding the Mugen Shinden, McGuinness was always in the lead and with a stunning new lap record of 117.366mph, he came home 23.3s clear of team-mate Bruce Anstey. Rob Barber, on the Ohio State University Buckeye machine, took third. This really is one for the two-wheel enthusiast. A whole twenty minutes of video from an on bike camera. Not as good as doing it yourself but as close as most of us will ever get to riding round the Island with no speed restrictions.
