:mobile: Will today’s Steam Packet Junior TT turn out to be the race of the week?

Double winner, so far this year, John McGuinness tops the practice leader board with a lap in 18 minutes 25.0 seconds, a speed of 122.92mph. Close behind comes yesterday’s Proddy 1000cc winner Kiwi Bruce Anstey, who has lapped in 18m 34.3 s to average 121.90mph, he in turn is followed by Richard Britton at 18m 45.3s (120.70mph), with the top six being made up with Jason Griffiths, Adrian Archibald and Martin Finnegan.

Certainly no quarter will be given or asked as the leading duo aim to add more silverware to their collection – McGuinness could join the ranks of the elite, Mike, Joey, Steve, and DJ in winning three races in a week. Just as determined will be the New Zealander, who would wish to join the ranks of double winners.

Both Richard and Jason are due for their initial TT victories, and Adrian Archibald will be hoping to break his ‘duck’ this week.
Surprising Ian Lougher doesn’t feature in the practice leader board, but he certainly cannot be ruled out, nor can Ryan Farquhar, whose luck, like that of Martin Finnegan seems not to be riding on their respective shoulders so far this week.
Shaun Harris is another Kiwi who cannot be discounted on the day.

A race ‘within’ a race will be the quarter-litre class, who’s riders Chris Palmer, Paul Owen, Norman Kneen, Bud Jackson and Mark Tyrell will be striving to be the last in the long and famous history of the Lightweight 250cc class to have their name inscribed on the trophy.

Is there anyone to dislodge Saturday’s Sidecar race A winners Dave Molyneux and Daniel Sayle from the top step of the podium?
Moly will be all out to equal Rob Fishers ten TT victories and his ambition still burns to break the twenty-minute barrier.

With Ian Bell and Craig Hallam being non-starters as a result of their practice spill, it will be left to fellow Manx crew of Nicky Crowe and Darren Hope to ‘spoil the party’.
No doubt Steve Norbury, Roy Hanks and Philip Dongworth and their passengers, amongst others will be all out to get on the top step of the podium. :killingme :beer:

:eek: Today’s delayed Junior TT was won by 31-year-old Morecambe bricklayer John McGuinness (Yamaha) at record lap and race speed.

There was early disappointment for a number of top men, with Ian Lougher crashing at Union Mills and lap record holder Ryan Farquhar and ace newcomer Guy Martin with engine problems.

Bidding for his third win of the week, John McGuinness took the early advantage and had nearly caught Adrian Archibald on the road, thus having taken out the best of 20 seconds on him at a new lap record 18 minutes 29.6 seconds, 122.41mph, better by a second from a standing start and leading Richard Britton by 12.8 seconds, with Bruce Anstey third and Jason Griffiths fourth. Shaun Harris lay fifth with Archibald making up the top six.

On the second lap, McGuinness kept the pressure on to overhaul Archibald and take the lead on the road as well as on corrected time. The Morecambe rider lapped in 18 minutes 25.4 seconds, 122.87mph, another lap record in spite of slowing down for his refuelling stop. He led Anstey by 21.2 seconds coming in to the pits. That was increased when the Kiwi spent much longer filling up and teammate Archibald left first. But there was no luck for Harris, who retired with mechanical trouble at Greeba Bridge.

Behind McGuinness and Anstey lay Jason Griffiths, who had edged out Britton, with Archibald and Mark Parrett fifth and sixth respectively. McGuinness’s two-lap race average was 122.64mph, faster than the old lap record. Indeed, the top four were all over 120.

Lap three saw the averages dip a little, with the pit stops taken into account. But McGuinness still did 116.88mph to record a race average of 120.66mph at three-quarter distance. Unless mechanical gremlins struck, it was in the bag even with a lap to go, enjoying 27 seconds over Anstey. The next four stayed on station – Griffiths, Britton, Archibald and Parrett.

Last time round McGuinness knocked off the power a bit, allowing Anstey to nibble a bit back, but the Yamaha man always had the situation under control. Archibald was pressing fellow Ulsterman Britton for for fourth, but just as he was about to strike he had to retire with bike trouble at Rhencullen.

McGuinness duly knocked off the final few miles to take his third victory of the week, having already triumphed in the Formula One and Lightweight 400, and maintaining the possibility of becoming the first rider to ever win five races in one TT (the 600 Production and Senior still to come).

His last lap was at 120.31mph for an overall new race record average of 120.57mph and a win by 17 seconds. Last year’s winner Anstey pushed hard but had to settle for second, the reverse of the previous day’s outcome in the 1000cc Production race. Griffiths took another fine rostrum place with third spot to keep out Britton and make it a Yamaha one-three. Fifth was Parrett and sixth Finnegan.
