by isleofman.com 6th June 2012

Michael Rutter has become the first person to lap the TT course at over 100mph on an electric bike.

The Team Segway Racing MotoCzysz rider went around at an average speed of 104.056mph.

It's the second consecutive year Rutter has won the race.

John McGuinness and Mark Miller both lapped at over 100mph too, 102.215mph and 101.065mph respectively.

But only four machines finished the race, with a couple of non-starters and numerous retirements.

Here's the moment Rutter made history, and earned himself a ?10,000 prize in the process:
