Tight racing for opening event of TT 2017
Ian Hutchinson has won this afternoon's Superbike Race - the opening event of TT 2017.
After a week of frustrations, the race was full of drama.
Top names Michael Dunlop and Guy Martin were both out in the early stages - Martin came off at Doran's Bend but was OK while Dunlop retired at Handley's Corner.
The lead changed hands several times during the race, with Hutchinson, Dean Harrison and Peter Hickman all taking turns at the top.
Speaking moments after winning, Hutchy said it had been an odd race for him . . .
