Barber makes history!

by isleofman.com 12th June 2009

The world's first clean emissions motorbike race has been won by Rob Barber.

He took the chequered flag in this morning's (Friday) TTxGP event, riding the electrically powered Team AGNI machine.

Radio TT commentator Charlie Lambert watched him cross the finish line to complete the historic event.

Second in the pro-class was Thomas Schonfelder and Mark Buckley on the Brammo machine was third.

The open class, where machines have to be in a saleable condition at the end of the race, was won by Chris Heath on his electric motorsport machine with Chris Petty being pipped into second place after he had to push his machine over the line.

Local man John Crellin, who only six weeks ago was making his third attempt to scale Everest, was third on the Torque machine from India.
