TT legend enjoys Manx Grand Prix lap of honour

by isleofman.com 3rd September 2010

TT LEGEND Ian Hutchinson enjoyed a "brilliant" lap of honour between races at the Manx Grand Prix today (Friday).

 

At TT 2010 the Padgetts Honda rider became the first man in history to win five races at the TT in the same week.

 

Yorkshireman Hutchy used the Honda 1000cc Superstock machine that he set the first 130mph Superstock lap on at the TT for the parade lap around the Mountain Course.

 

He has had a busy week in the Isle of Man as he also started the Lightweight and Ultra Lightweight race and also signed up for the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association "Orange Army" and marshalled during Wednesday’s Junior Manx Grand Prix race with British Superbike star Stuart Easton.

 

Ian, who now has eight TT victories, first competed on the Isle of Man in 2003, winning the newcomers race in the Manx Grand Prix.

 

At the end of his lap Ian said: "That was the best thing I have ever done. I was gobsmacked by the reception I received around the course from the fans. It was absolutely brilliant to get the chance to do a lap like that."
