The good.... Bruce Anstey won the Lightweight TT after two years of fighting cancer. A fabulous effort from the ever popular flying Kiwi.

The very sad....Kiwi Chis Swallow lost his life in an accident at Ballaugh Bridge in the Senior Classic TT. Chris was a regular competitor and l think had stood on the podium a couple of times, he first competed on the Island in 2007 so no newcomer.
RIP Chris.

Agreed, RIP young Chris, he was only 37 - heaps more life to live.
