McGuiness fastest again as red flag ends practice session

by isleofman.com 30th May 2013

A red flag brought last night's TT practice session to a premature end.

Sidecar newcomers David Saunders and Anne Garnish crashed at the Graham Memorial on the Mountain just before the close of racing.

Both riders were talking to medics at the scene and were taken to Nobles Hospital for further checks.

Up until that point the session went uninterrupted for the first time since Saturday.

John McGuinness showed yet again why he is known as King of the Mountain - with the night's quickest lap on his Honda TT Legends Superbike.

The 129.32mph lap by McGuiness faced stiff competition throughout the evening from Bruce Anstey who was only point two of a second behind the Morecambe racer.

Suprise of the night was newcomer Josh Brookes - the Tyco Suzuki rider flew round the course on only his second timed run out - a lap just under 122mph was his best.

The sidecars brought proceedings to an end with Dave Molyneux once again showing his experience and with passenger Patrick Ferrance they came through qucikest with a lap speed of 113.58mph.
