Kiwi wins Lightweight Classic TT on comeback

Bruce Anstey returned to road racing on the Isle of Man with a win in the Lightweight Classic TT.

The 50-year-old - who's been battling health problems for the last couple of years - rode to a superb win around the Mountain Course.

It was a one-two for the Milenco by Padgetts team as Davey Todd finished in second.

Yamaha rider James Hind was third.

But the headlines will be dominated by the hugely popular Anstey who spoke to Manx Radio moments after his victory:
