Have you seen the size and build of Lee ???

I don't know who was clocking at 188 Malcolm but the fastest I saw Hutchy and Dunlop was 186mph,  Ian Hutchinson on his PBM Superbike machine set the fastest speed trap time through Sulby at 192mph, with Anstey next quickest at 190.6mph. Old theories about like the one suggested 1st=5mph may if and a big if would only apply to maybe a 125cc but for a bike giving out over 200bhp really would not make any difference, can anyone point in the right direction of where we can get the speed trap times from?


Lee Johnson clocked 190's in laps 2 and 3 according to my notes

From my comments on the race Michael Dunlop did a 188 in the first lap and from memory there were 4 riders all clocking 188 on lap 2 I think it was. Ivan Linton was for sure one of those.
