Three riders smash TT Zero 100mph lap time

Wednesday, 6 June 2012 01:00

The top three riders in the later than scheduled TT Zero race smashed the elusive 100mph average lap time, with 7 times TT winner Michael Rutter clinching the top spot.

The man from Morecambe John McGuinness narrowly missed out on his chance of bagging his 20th TT race win finishing in second place, he too convincingly broke the 100mph lap time.

In third place, from the United States was racer Mark Miller.

As he technically was the first person to complete the lap time Michael Rutter will receive the £10,000 bonus prize.
