Jamie Coward wins post-TT climax
The curtain has come down on the TT festival – with a thriller at Billown.
Jamie Coward and William Dunlop were involved in a ding-dong battle in the Manx Independent Carriers 1100cc race – the climax of the Radcliffe Butchers Post-TT.
And, fittingly, it was Coward – a member of the Radcliffe’s Racing team - who claimed a special victory for rider and sponsor alike, setting a new lap record (112.083mph average) and race record (18 minutes 33.151 seconds) in the process.
James Cowton ended up taking second spot after Dunlop got tangled up behind a backmarker with Ryan Kneen in fourth spot.
Following the 34-mile eight lap race, Coward was cock-a-hoop.
