Isle of Mann 2009 TT Manx fun (RACE SPOILERS - RESULTS)

[Desmostro]

TTX GP Electric Bike race

EDIT:
Team Agni rider Rob Barber WINS.
I saw a misprint earlier.


Note: they seem to have scrapped the Yves Behar design for the race.

"History has been made at the 2009 Isle of Man TT with the inaugural TTXGP, a race for clean emission motorcycles.

The Team Mission Motors entry, ridden by Thomas Montano, led the 13-strong field away from the TT Grandstand at 10.45am, and as he quietly rode his way down to Bray Hill a new chapter in the history of the 102-year-old TT was started."



Schoenfelder was trailing Barber by more than 90 seconds at Ramsey Hairpin, but he did have the honour of setting the fastest speed ever recorded by an electric-powered bike at the Sulby speed trap â€" 106.5mph.
