Bruce Anstey wins IOM Supersport Junior TT race

[Crasherfromwayback]

but from memory one was on a Harley and the other possibly on a 250.

...

I could be wrong, but I don't think Bruce won an 883 Twinsports title.

He's sure as hell won just about everything else though.

Pity he isn't better known in this country, it isn't as if we have too many sports heroes right now. Problem is, where some other countries have sports journalists we have rugby and/or cricket writers.

So true... The first I have heard of him was on the IOM TT site, not that I have followed much racing before, but local coverage should be better considering his achievements thus far in the 2008 TT... Would be nice to see a write up in sports section of the paper, instead of the breaking news about All-Black resting regimes etc...

I stand corrected.

I've just checked with Doug (who spannered for Bruce on his 883) who now works for us, and Bruce won the 883 Twinsport title either 99 or 2000.

What an awesome comeback after being stripped of his earlier title.

I see Bruce led the Senior TT on Friday for a while, before retiring in the pits after his second lap, due to clutch and chain problems. John McGuinness added another win to his impressive tally, now equal with Mike Hailwood.
