One rider grabbed his debut TT victory when he took a record-breaking Bennetts Lightweight Race right to the wire, winning by a mere 4 seconds.
Both James Hillier and Ivan Lintin smashed the old lap record as they battled it out right up to the chequered flag.
Hillier took the initial lead, but had several riders close on his tail, with fractions of seconds separating him and Lintin, Ryan Farquhar, and Lee Johnston.
