Victory for Anstey in Supersport TT

From Team Suzuki

Bruce Anstey put the disappointment of Monday's Supersport race firmly behind him, taking an emphatic 34-second victory in the Relentless Supersport TT Race 2 on Wednesday.

Anstey and Ian Hutchinson couldn't be separated at the end of the opening lap, but the 39-year-old Kiwi dropped the hammer on lap 2, opening up an eight-second lead and setting a new lap record of 125.359mph. From there in, Anstey's GSX-R600 Relentless Suzuki never missed a beat and the quietly-spoken Kiwi took the chequered flag and his seventh Isle of Man TT victory.

The win also completed the set for TAS Racing, having now won every available solo four-stroke class in TT racing history.

"I was a bit uptight on that first lap, but from lap 2 I just got into a comfortable rhythm and the bike was faultless," Anstey said. "I think I could actually have gone faster but the wind was quite severe on the Mountain. I'm really delighted… that's all I can say."
