00:00Riding on the rock on the hundred and nine
00:08Riding on the long side with the white line
00:11Seeing over here, you're coming just in time
00:14I got no more danger, nothing on my mind
00:17But I'll ride on the world, I'll ride on my own
00:21Kingdoms and roads, cause I ain't going home
00:30Welcome to the Isle of Man, the spiritual home of two-wheel racing
00:37And a stunning location on which to do so
00:39This time you join us for the Southern Hundred
00:43An iconic event which regularly attracts all the top names in road racing
00:472025 marks 70 years since the first running of the so-called Friendly Racers
00:54A milestone calling for celebration
00:57In honour of the anniversary, heroes from the past like Con Law and Ron Langston
01:03Join the gladiators of today in a gathering of champions
01:06Here's what these road racing legends make of the Southern Hundred
01:10An absolutely fabulous club, the Southern Hundred Club
01:14You know, they deem it the Friendly Racers
01:17And they certainly are the Friendly Racers
01:18The first time I came here was 1978 as a newcomer
01:21And I won the Newcomers Award in the 250 class
01:25And loved coming over here
01:28And always enjoyed coming in July to the Southern
01:32In my day, I mean, we just entered and just turned up on a bike and ride
01:38You know, and I think it's still a bit like that even now
01:42You know, so it's a lot faster course
01:44It's an enjoyable event
01:46And I'm looking forward to the racing
01:48My first came here in 1976
01:50But the Southern 100 had that reputation
01:53Top-line entry, top-line competition
01:55A worthy race to race in
01:58And one we enjoy coming to
02:00Yeah, I just absolutely love the event
02:03I love the atmosphere here
02:04The organisation
02:05The track itself
02:08Everything about this event
02:10It really is the Friendly Racers
02:12And I guess that's what keeps me coming back
02:15Having claimed victory in the last two Southern 100 solo championship races
02:19Davey Todd has a target on his back in 2025
02:22And with an impressive list of riders taking part
02:25Making it three in a row will not be easy
02:28It's a lot more difficult than you think around here
02:32It's so hard-breaking and getting the thing in the window to work
02:36So I'm looking forward to tonight
02:37Just to try and get the first race under his belt
02:39Just to see whereabouts everybody's at speed-wise
02:42Podium's where we want to be
02:43But trying to get a sneaker little win in there or two
02:45It'll be nice
02:46Paul Jordan has proved himself worthy of front-running pace in 2025
02:53There's no pressure from the team
02:55There's no pressure on myself
02:56I just want to go and ride my waterbaking
02:57And have fun
02:58At the end of the day
02:59There's no one holding a gun to their head
03:01And telling us we need to do this
03:02I'm doing this for my own benefit
03:03And I'm loving it
03:05The feel this year is so strong
03:07And it's going to be fun
03:09I'm really looking forward to just banging bars with boys
03:11And just putting a show on for everybody
03:13Local Manxman Joe Yardsley
03:16Is another rider having a promising year so far
03:19And he will be looking to keep up that momentum
03:20In front of this home crowd
03:22It's been a struggle riding three bikes for the first time
03:25Especially the super stop bike
03:27But we seem to be making the steps in the right direction
03:30So I know it's all going well
03:31But as long as I improve on my times
03:32And feel as though I keep making steps forward
03:34Then I'm happy with that
03:35No doubt one of the toughest challenges of all
03:40To Davy Todd's crown this year
03:41Will be Michael Dunlop
03:43Who chose a kickabout with his team
03:45As downtime between on-track sessions
03:47And this is the layout
03:55On which the riders will be doing battle
03:57Almost unchanged since its first race
03:5970 years ago
04:00The Ballown circuit is popular among riders
04:02For its long straights
04:04Lined with hedges
04:04Walls
04:05And flocks of spectators
04:07The sharp balabeg hairpin
04:14In its long braking zone
04:15Provides the perfect overtaking opportunity
04:17But it's the narrow church bends
04:19That gets the blood pumping
04:20Taking to the course first
04:34Is the lightweight class
04:36Welcome into the commentary box
04:39Chris Boyd
04:39Chris the lightweights are out
04:40Rob Hodson's got to be favourite
04:422024 winner and lap records
04:44On these machines
04:45He's on pole
04:46From Davy Todd and Paul Jordan
04:47Second row
04:48Joe Yardley
04:49Michael Sweeney
04:49And Marcus Simpson
04:50That's not a bad couple of front rows
04:52Is it
04:52Then we've got Barry Ferber
04:53He'll go well
04:54Grant Thompson
04:55Jamie Williams
04:55Paul Cassidy
04:56Lewis Arrowsmith
04:57And James Walsh
04:58Round out the top 12 starters
04:59Here we go
05:04Pole position for the SMT
05:05Two patterns on the front row
05:07And then it's Paul Jordan away
05:08Paul on the 22 machine
05:10Paul on the Aprilia this year
05:11But we'll keep an eye on Joe Yurtsin there
05:13I think he could be a favourite here
05:14He loves the little bikes
05:16Does he
05:16But look
05:16Castletown
05:17In all its glory
05:18Around the Blown circuit
05:19Rob Hodson
05:20With an early need
05:21Into Balochagan
05:21Lap one
05:22Davy Todd
05:23The right
05:23Whip
05:24As they peel
05:24Into the right
05:25Hander
05:25And get themselves
05:26Onto Balochagan
05:27Straight
05:27Great train
05:28Down this long
05:30Long straight down
05:30To Iron Gate
05:31Davy Todd
05:32Of course
05:32In Malenko
05:33By Padgett's team
05:34Only got the pattern
05:34Just before TT
05:35And it's a new venture
05:37For them this year
05:37Paul Jordan
05:38Shown well
05:38In about fourth position
05:40There
05:40We can also see
05:40Miko Sweeney
05:41Barry Ferber
05:42Jamie Williams
05:43Marcus Simpson
05:43All in there
05:44All going well
05:45But this is the man
05:46I think
05:46With that lap record
05:47Chris Boyd
05:48From last year
05:48Which is 106
05:50On a twin around here
05:51Something else
05:51Isn't it
05:52Crazy
05:52And he's got the confidence
05:54But you know
05:54Davy Todd
05:55Has got the confidence
05:55As well
05:56He's enjoying
05:57This first season
05:58On that Malenko
05:58By Padgett's pattern
06:00The first time
06:01Clive Padgett's
06:01Run the bike
06:02This year
06:02Just seeing
06:03Lewis Arrowsmith
06:04There number 14
06:05He's round about
06:05Ninth position
06:06He's a good young
06:07Talent coming through
06:08But at the front
06:08We have got
06:09Well there's Joe Yurtsin
06:10You can just see Joe
06:11What a great rear face
06:12And camera
06:13As you go through
06:13Williams
06:14They're out of the back
06:14Of Williams now
06:15I think
06:15Past Roy Gelling's farm
06:16There
06:17Such a popular spot
06:18As you can see
06:18With the spectators
06:19But Rob Hodson
06:20It's all action
06:21You just see the front
06:22Give a big wiggle
06:22As he went over the rise
06:24As he dropped down
06:24Across four ways
06:25Nice and aggressive
06:26And as you say
06:27Joe Yurtsin
06:28Sitting in third place
06:29On that Scott racing
06:29April
06:30You look at him
06:30There he is
06:3121
06:31Oh Jordan
06:33Right across
06:34Michael Sweeney
06:35Yeah
06:35Michael Sweeney
06:36Did that at Tandakee
06:37Remember a couple
06:38Of weeks ago
06:38Lost the race
06:39Of course
06:39To Darrell Tweed
06:40On that one
06:40He was getting a bit
06:41Squirrelly was the scariest man
06:43There now
06:43We're on board with him
06:44The MSR Aprilia
06:45New machine he's had
06:46I think last year
06:47He was running it as well
06:48But kind of getting used to it
06:49For so many years
06:50On the Kawasaki
06:50But Jordan
06:51Todd
06:52And Yurtsin
06:53Your top three at the moment
06:54Through great men
06:54Who flat out
06:55On these super twins
06:56Barry Ferber as well
06:57Always goes well
06:58On these machines
06:59And already up there
07:00In the top six
07:00As we see them
07:01Into Castletown corner
07:02Already
07:03Yeah stadium corner
07:04They've just gone through
07:05And we close in
07:05On Barry Ferber
07:06That great podium
07:07We had at the North
07:08West 200
07:08On the Yamaha
07:09The R7
07:10He's ran that
07:10For the past couple of years
07:11And in the sunshine
07:13On the Isle of Man
07:14We go across the line
07:15With Rob Honson
07:16With an early lead
07:17And a couple of bike lengths
07:18He's put into Davey Todd
07:19There and then
07:19A few more bike lengths
07:20Into Joe Yerzi
07:21So just getting a little bit
07:22Spread out
07:22You can be sure
07:23They'll come back together
07:24Under slipstream here
07:25Half a second
07:26From Honson to Todd
07:27Then a 1.4
07:28Back to Joe Yerzi
07:29Something just flapping
07:30Across our camera there
07:31Now
07:31As we keep it alive
07:32Somebody's just gone straight on
07:34Just didn't catch who that was
07:35Somebody's just possibly
07:36Going to be in retirement there
07:38So we've lost that rider
07:39Whoever that was
07:40I'm just trying to work it out
07:41But here comes Davey Todd
07:42On Malenko by Padgett
07:43So don't think close enough though
07:44Chris
07:44No closing in as they go
07:45Into Iron Gate
07:46And then Yerzi sat right behind them
07:48And Ferber behind that
07:49So maybe it was
07:50Michael Sweeney
07:51Who went straight on
07:52Yeah I think it was
07:53I think he must be right there
07:54But Barry Ferber
07:55Slotted in there as well
07:56Paul Jordan
07:56Marcus Simpson
07:57Jamie Williams
07:58Lewis Arrowsmith
07:59As we mentioned
07:59And of course Paul Cassidy
08:01Local man
08:01Literally lives on the paddock gate
08:03Of the Southern Honda
08:04Of course he's in about 10th place
08:05Can't get much more local knowledge
08:07Than that
08:07Yerzi there
08:08Pulling well up through Duck Street
08:10And there's Hodson
08:11As we join him
08:12On the way into Baller Whetstone
08:13So so bumpy into Baller Whetstone
08:15Is it there
08:15On the right hand side
08:16Of the tyre
08:17It kind of tightens up
08:18There's a big kerb
08:19On the inside as well
08:20And the two patterns
08:21Airate the front wheel
08:22And the drop in Yerzi
08:23But he's got
08:24A pretty safe position in third
08:25There's Barry Ferber
08:26He's on the 12 machine
08:27Drops in the fourth
08:28And there is Mikko Swinney
08:29Maybe Mikko
08:30Dragged a couple people wide
08:31Because there we are
08:32Marcus Simpson
08:33Oh I thought he was
08:34Going up the inside there
08:35And Jamie
08:35James Williams
08:36As he says
08:37There he'll love that
08:38Jamie Williams on the 92
08:39He's going well
08:40In the European scene
08:41At the moment also
08:42He is regular trips
08:43To the IRRC
08:45Oh blimey
08:46The leader Hodson
08:47Getting it well mixed up there
08:49And that's allowed
08:50Todd through
08:51Yeah he lost the rear end
08:52Going in there as well
08:53Managed to grab it all up
08:54But it's all about
08:55Backing these things in
08:56Riding them like a 250
08:57Corner speed
08:58Is key
08:59They're in about the 103
09:01103 and a half pace
09:02At the moment
09:03Nowhere near the 106 lap
09:04But we have a new race leader
09:05The Malenko by Padgett's
09:07Pattern on the number one bike
09:08The number one designates
09:09He's of course
09:10The champion
09:11Let's watch this again
09:12Look at that
09:12You can just see
09:14The rear of the machine
09:15Break away from Rob Hodson
09:16Gave Davey Todd
09:17All the space he needed
09:18And then he's flying away
09:20But he's got company
09:21And here comes
09:22Rodson back past
09:23Or tries to at least
09:25Should be very similar machines
09:26I would say
09:27Remember Clive tell me
09:28TT is hoping for the best spec
09:29Pattern
09:30And I think he's got that
09:31But here we go
09:32Can Rob Hodson get right
09:34In the slip
09:34Seeming to be dragged along
09:35Joe Yerzi's three seconds back
09:37And here we go
09:38See Rob Hodson just pop his head
09:39At the bubble there now
09:40Just to try and just maybe not
09:42Show his hand too early
09:43He's still got a long way to go
09:44In this race
09:45I mean it's a six lapper
09:46Six lapper
09:46He's got time
09:47He can assess just where
09:49Davey Todd's line is
09:50And work out where's going to be
09:51The best place to attack him
09:52Although you might think
09:53Hodson might want to get to the front
09:54And try and break away
09:55If possible
09:56They're on similar lap speeds Chris
09:58So I don't really think
09:59They're going to
09:59Don't want to be held
10:00In each other up
10:01Because they've only got
10:01Joe Yerzi a couple of seconds
10:03Back on the road
10:04And he's got a bit of space
10:05Between third place
10:06Joe riding really well
10:07And after the big blow up
10:08I had at the TT
10:09Up in a landfill
10:10To cronk the body
10:11But Michael Sweeney
10:12Where's he come from
10:13He was a long way back
10:14He's in fifth
10:15Just behind Baz Ferber
10:16Right with Ferber as well
10:18It looks like Davey Todd
10:19Then at the front
10:20As Hodson makes another
10:21Oh he comes up alongside
10:23And he's not going to try it there
10:24I don't think
10:25Yeah this is the last lap
10:26Into cross four ways
10:27He sticks up the inside
10:28The rear end breaks out
10:30He's pushed Davey wide
10:31They've both gone wide
10:32So that means now
10:33Rob Hodson is back in the lead
10:34Of this Mike Caruso plumbing
10:36Lightweight race for 650s
10:37And the odd 250 as well
10:39And Davey Todd Chris Boyd
10:41Lap record on lap five
10:42In the Super Twins
10:43Davey Todd breaks the lap record
10:45Here at Valown
10:46But it's Rob Hodson
10:47Now in the front
10:48In the race
10:48On the final lap
10:49And the run down
10:50Through Great Meadow
10:51Two minutes
10:5124.2 for Davey Todd
10:53106.095
10:55Third place hasn't done yet either
10:57Barry Ferber
10:58Has now got
10:59Oh no sorry
10:59Not Barry Ferber
11:00Joe Yardsley
11:01Has now got
11:02Mick Osweiny
11:02That's a lot of experience
11:04Behind him
11:04He's going to have to battle
11:05Well to get through this
11:06But Rob Hodson
11:06Into the bridge
11:07Final time
11:08Final time indeed
11:09Hodson comes over the line
11:10Heads on down the bypass
11:11Todd moves to the right hand side
11:13But there's nothing
11:13He can do about it
11:14It's going to be a race win
11:15For Wigan's Rob Hodson
11:16Certainly is
11:17And a new lap record
11:18And a new race record
11:20But that goes
11:21The race record
11:21To Rob Hodson
11:22Who wins the race
11:23But Davey Todd
11:24With the lap record
11:25Hodson wins
11:26By just one second
11:27From Davey Todd
11:28Joe Yardsley
11:28Then 14 seconds
11:30Behind that
11:30Just holding on
11:32From Michael Sweeney
11:32Who came back brilliantly
11:34Then Barry Ferber
11:34To fifth
11:35Pull Jordan sixth
11:36Marcus Simpson
11:37Seventh
11:38Jamie Williams
11:38Lewis Arrowsmith
11:39And Paul Cassidy
11:40Round out the top ten
11:41Yeah it was good
11:44Off to a good start
11:44You know
11:46I knew Davey
11:46Would be close behind
11:48Which he pushed me all the way
11:49I made a small mistake
11:50Let Davey pass
11:51Unfortunately
11:52And then I just
11:52Gone to his back wheel
11:53Until the last lap
11:55And we both kind of
11:56Made a mistake
11:56Into cross four ways
11:57Luckily I held on
11:58To it
11:59To take the win
12:00Congratulations
12:03To Rob Hodson
12:04For just clinching that one
12:06Davey Todd
12:06Second place
12:07With that new lap record
12:08And a well earned podium
12:09For manxman
12:10Joe Yardsley
12:11And after the break
12:13The Cycars

13:01By the Crowboys
13:02And it is so good to see
13:03Pete Founds
13:04And Jevin Wormsley
13:05Back after that
13:05Big big accident
13:06Into the TT
13:07And they're ready
13:08Up to second
13:08Tim Reeves
13:09In fourth
13:09And the thing
13:10In third place
13:10Was the number four
13:11Outfit
13:11Of Lee Crawford
13:12And Scott Hardy
13:13But a start
13:14From the Crows
13:14They're away
13:15Amazing
13:15What a sight though
13:16These sidecars
13:17Are down
13:17The bypass
13:18On the opening lap
13:19The mass start
13:20Here at the 700
13:21Is something very
13:22Very special
13:22For the sidecars
13:23Pete Founds
13:24Getting the sidecar wheel
13:25Locked up
13:26Going down there
13:27Into Balakagan
13:28Lap number one
13:29Of six
13:29But the seven outfit
13:30The Crows boys
13:31Seven
13:31Then at 72
13:32Then four
13:33Then it's Tim Reeves
13:34On the Dave
13:34Molyneux outfits
13:35On board now
13:36Look at the work
13:37That Scott Hardy
13:38Has to do over there
13:38They're going through
13:39Joey's gate there now
13:40You watch him
13:41Keep that handhold
13:41The left hand
13:42Stays on that one
13:43All the time
13:44Look how bumpy it is
13:45He's getting knocked
13:46To bits isn't he
13:47They don't want
13:47Ryan and Callum
13:48To get away
13:49Do they
13:49Pete Founds
13:49And Gem
13:50Oh
13:50It's not Tesco
13:53It's not Tesco car
13:54What are they doing
13:55Goodness
13:56Goodness me
13:57On all that
13:57We have a new race leader
13:5872
13:59Pete Founds
14:00And Gem
14:00And Wormsey
14:00They get to the front
14:01Wowee
14:02And they're driving
14:03They're driving
14:05Pete's brothers
14:06Alan's outfit
14:07And on a Yamaha
14:08For the first time
14:09I'm sure Alan's
14:09Wincing back in the paddock
14:11Having just seen that
14:12Yeah good start
14:13About 87
14:13Again there
14:14Carl Fenwick
14:15And Jakey Roberts
14:16They're going really well
14:16On board with Greg Lammert
14:18And Andy Haynes
14:19They've been around
14:19A long time
14:20Greggy isn't he
14:21Many many years of experience
14:22And run the skill
14:23Look at those
14:23Big lockups
14:24Pete Founds
14:25Oh my word
14:26Crawford
14:27They are
14:27Crowboys
14:28From Balabeg
14:29To cross four ways
14:29Back down to third
14:30As quick as that
14:31How close is this going to be
14:32I thought they'd cleared off
14:33Boydie
14:34And Founds and Wormsey
14:35And Crawford and Hardy
14:36Showing that they are not
14:37Going to let the Crows
14:38Have this their own way
14:39At all
14:40They're going to have to race
14:41For it
14:41That's for sure
14:42They are now
14:42Right behind
14:43The Crows
14:44This is right behind
14:45Crawford and Hardy
14:45Can they do anything on the run
14:46Through Great Meadow
14:47They move out
14:48Are they going to be able
14:49To make the move
14:50Oh goodness me
14:51That's flat
14:51That is absolutely flat
14:53On the sidecar
14:54And he's just pulled out
14:54The slipstream
14:55Have a little bit of that
14:56But Pete Founds
14:57And Jevin Wormsley
14:58When they were getting
14:59Themselves sorted out
14:59After that TT incident
15:01They're betting they didn't think
15:02They'd be leading
15:02A Southern 100
15:03Sidecar race this year
15:04Just a few weeks later
15:05Absolutely incredible
15:06But they've got the Crows
15:07Right behind them
15:08This is going to
15:09Oh
15:10Where's Foundsy going
15:11Foundsy dug in the rear
15:12Oh
15:13Heck
15:14What are they doing
15:15This is unbelievable
15:17Never seen sidecar racing
15:19Like this
15:19This is crazy
15:20This is short circuit stuff
15:22Pete Foundsy
15:22And Jevin Wormsley
15:23As he came out
15:24Of the Castletown Bridge
15:25Asked for the power
15:26As the Crowboys fly by
15:27And go back into the lead
15:28They asked for the power
15:29The outfit picked up
15:30It went to the right hand side
15:31There's a bus stop
15:32On the right hand side
15:33Lee Crawford and Scott Hardy
15:34Thought oh there's a gap
15:35There to the left
15:35The Crowboys swung over
15:37To the left
15:37Goodness me Chris Boyd
15:39This is only lap one of two
15:40Lap one of six
15:41Absolutely sensational racing
15:43From these front three outfits
15:44Three of the very top
15:46Sidecar outfits
15:47In the whole world
15:48And certainly in the British Isles
15:49And they are having
15:50An absolute ding dong
15:52I wonder what Ben Birchall
15:53Will make of this
15:54When he's watching this
15:55Eh
15:55Who knows
15:57Who knows
15:58But here they come
15:59Back into what they did
16:00On the first lap
16:01The Crowboys ahead of
16:02Founds and Wormsley
16:04Then it's Lee Crawford
16:05And Scott Hardy
16:05They were fresh off
16:07Their podiums
16:07After TT as well
16:08Two third places
16:09And here comes Tim Reeves
16:11Kevin Colsch
16:12First time here for Kevin
16:13Oh it's a square
16:14Oh goodness me
16:15Alright lap number one
16:16Here we go
16:17So Pete Founds and Jevin
16:18Made a bit of a state
16:19Bit of air debris
16:20Going on the circuit
16:21There as well
16:21So something to be
16:22Knocked off a machine
16:23But they're all fair
16:23In love and war
16:24And here we are
16:25To cross four ways
16:26Lee Crawford and Scott Hardy
16:27Up the inside of the Crowboys
16:29And the Crowboys
16:30Look at this move
16:31Incredible
16:32Lee knew he was there
16:33How close at 140 mile an hour
16:35Would you like it
16:35That's unbelievable
16:36Isn't it
16:36Almost at top speed
16:37On these outfits
16:38Absolutely sensational stuff
16:40So
16:40And then this
16:42Wow
16:42Look at this
16:43Look how close to the pavement
16:44They are
16:45Scott Hardy put his hand up
16:46They say
16:46Hang on boys
16:47Look we're here
16:48We're here
16:48We're here
16:48Incredible
16:49So a slower outfit
16:50Just getting lapped there
16:51By the Crowboys
16:52Across the line
16:53They go with a
16:54That's a healthy margin
16:55Compared to what we've had
16:56We've got number 48
16:57Number 42
16:57I think that is
16:58That's Paul Renk
16:59And Ian Tennant
17:00I think they're pulling
17:01Into the pits there now
17:02But the Crowboys
17:03They're up and away
17:03With it now
17:04Goodness me
17:05What a frenetic
17:05Couple of laps
17:06There look to be
17:07More smoke on the road
17:08Lots of lock-ups
17:08Happening from Founds and Worms
17:10He's just getting used
17:11Isn't he
17:11To that Yamaha outfit
17:12And he's locking up
17:13The passenger wheel
17:14Pretty much everywhere
17:15As he does that
17:16Familiarisation
17:17Speaking of Jevin
17:19He was saying
17:19There's different handholds
17:20On this machine
17:21Because it's obviously
17:21Different
17:22That was destroyed
17:23At the TT
17:23Different chassis altogether
17:25Just different way
17:26Of riding it
17:26He's got to learn it
17:27But he's learning it
17:28Quite well
17:28He's still in the
17:29100 mile an hour
17:30Laps like all three
17:31Of them are
17:31After all those battles
17:32Early on
17:33The Crows have got themselves
17:34A couple of seconds
17:35Up the road now
17:36And it's a battle
17:36And it's a battle
17:36Between Founds and Worms
17:38And Crawford and Hardy
17:39Yeah you see the way
17:41The outfit there
17:41See Jevin there
17:42Holding on that left hand
17:43The same as Scott Hardy
17:44That left hand is always
17:46Constant on that hold
17:47And then he'll swing out
17:48There now
17:48There he goes
17:49Oh the rear of the outfit
17:50Of Founds just breaking away
17:52As he went through
17:52Battle of Whetstone
17:53There by the
17:54By the Hamptons farm
17:55Anyway
17:55Goodness me
17:56That's tight to that curb
17:57For Lee Crawford too
17:58And the passengers
17:59Are doing so much work
18:00Around this course
18:02Aren't they
18:02They get rests
18:03Along the TT
18:04There's no real rest
18:05Here at all
18:06Is there
18:06Hard on the brakes
18:07Then
18:07In to cross four ways
18:08Into the right hander
18:09Lee Crawford
18:10Just getting on the back
18:12Of Pete Founds
18:12And Jevin Worms
18:13Having a lit look over
18:14His shoulder there
18:15Now as the Crowboys
18:16Flash by
18:16And here's the battle
18:17For seconds
18:18They need to watch
18:20That wall on the inside
18:21There now
18:21They're cutting out
18:22Really close
18:24Is the number four
18:24Outfit of Lee Crawford
18:26And Scott Hardy
18:26You can't even see
18:27The passengers
18:27Can't even see them
18:28They're not there
18:29Maybe it's just
18:30It's just an image
18:32You know
18:32You just don't know
18:33Maybe it's just
18:33Just an illusion
18:34Chris Boyd
18:35But look
18:35You can see the work
18:36He's doing
18:37And Jevin's boot
18:38Is actually
18:38Or his leathers
18:39Is slightly undone there
18:40You can just see
18:41On his right leg
18:43There
18:43Maybe that
18:44It's just
18:45Something of the accident
18:46Maybe a bit of swelling
18:47There
18:47But hey
18:48But the Crowboys
18:48On the last lap
18:49Chris Boyd
18:49Are away
18:50The battle really is
18:51For second here
18:52Between Founds and
18:53Wormsley
18:53And Crawford and Hardy
18:54What can the number four
18:56Outfit do
18:57Anything along the run
18:58Down into Balochagan
18:59He closes right in
19:00Now let's see the smoke
19:01Come up again
19:02For that side wheel
19:02And it does as well
19:03For Pete Founds
19:04And Jevin Wormsley
19:05Lee closes
19:06Right in
19:07But the Crowboys
19:07They're well away
19:08With that
19:08That lead's got to be
19:09At least three seconds
19:10Now Chris Boyd
19:11After all that
19:12Battling early on
19:13These two are still
19:14Going at it
19:15On the final lap
19:16They are into
19:17Iron Gate
19:17It's 4.46
19:18So a little bit
19:19Bigger than three
19:19Over the jump there
19:20Over the railway line
19:21In through Joey's gate
19:22Watch for that kerb
19:23Remember
19:24Alan Founds
19:25Had that big crash there
19:26And last year
19:26In this probably
19:27Outfit
19:28The 72
19:28That Pete Founds
19:30And Jevin Wormsley
19:30Are on
19:31But here comes
19:31Lee Crawford
19:32And Scott
19:32Oh no
19:33Wow
19:34Wow
19:34They caught each other
19:36Going into there
19:37I'd love to see
19:38A replay of that
19:38Because it looked like
19:39Lee Crawford and Scott
19:40Hardy
19:40Had the sidecar wheel
19:41Right up in the air
19:43As they tried to break
19:44Now they need
19:44All three sidecar wheels
19:46To break here now
19:47And that has broken it
19:48Chris Boyd call this
19:49I was going to say
19:50Can he try and find
19:51A run up the inside
19:52Well he went for the run
19:52Up the inside
19:53Regardless of where
19:54Founds and Wormsley were
19:55Interesting post-raced
19:57Interviews I will have to say
19:58But these boys
19:59Give a bit of a wave
20:00To the crowd there now
20:01Callum Crowe
20:02Leans over the outfit
20:03Looking for the grip
20:04And here we go
20:05On the run through
20:06To take the first
20:07Sidecar racer
20:08In the Ace Hire and Sales
20:09Sidecar race
20:10And a new lap record
20:12And well
20:13Faster than the championship
20:14Lap record for the Crows
20:15102.747
20:17Absolutely incredible stuff
20:19Founds and Wormsley
20:19Hold on for second
20:20After that race-long duel
20:22With Crawford and Hardy
20:23Then Tim Reeves and Kevin Coles
20:25Completing fourth
20:25Grave Glambert
20:26And Andy Haynes in fifth
20:28There's Carl Fenwick
20:29And Jason Roberts
20:29Darren Hope
20:30Good to see Hope
20:31Be back and Bumfy
20:31There's Lachie and Rostron
20:32Thomas and Miller
20:33And Baker and Dawkins
20:34Your top ten
20:35Yeah it's absolutely awesome
20:38To get a win round here
20:39Finally
20:39And get that lap record
20:41So it's nice to now
20:42Have every lap record
20:43On your arm man
20:44So that's a bonus
20:44That was awesome
20:45It was a good opening race
20:47It's definitely gave us
20:49A bit more of an insight
20:50Of what's going to happen
20:51In the next race
20:51Isn't it?
20:53So the Crow brothers
20:54Draw first blood
20:55On three wheels
20:56But can they do the double
20:58And claim the first
20:59Southern 100
21:00Sidecar championship
21:01That'll come later
21:02First though
21:04Davey Todd
21:05Tries tries to turn his fortunes
21:06Around in the H&H motorcycles
21:08600cc race
21:10Time for the super sports
21:13And that includes
21:14And that includes of course
21:14The next generation machines
21:15Could be 750 Suzuki's
21:17And of course Michael Dunlop in there
21:18On the 959 Ducati
21:20And he's on pole
21:21The TT dominating machine
21:22With Davey Todd and Mike Brown
21:24Alongside him on the front row
21:25Then Paul Jordan
21:26Nathan Harrison
21:27And Rob Otten on row two
21:28Row three is Jamie Coward
21:29Michael Sweeney
21:30Michael Evans
21:31Row four
21:31Dominic Kermitson
21:32Terno Costamo
21:33And Sam West
21:34Here we go
21:35Watch the lights
21:36And away we go
21:37Not a good start
21:38For Michael Dunlop
21:38Dragging that clutch
21:39On the BMW
21:41On the Ducati
21:42I should have said
21:42This is super sport racing
21:44Look at Davey Todd
21:45Off the line
21:45Stunning start again
21:47By Davey Todd
21:47Already becoming a feature
21:49Of this week
21:49Here down in Castletown
21:51Todd making amazing starts
21:52Two-time champion
21:53Around the Southern 100 course
21:55Two-time solo champion
21:56Can he make it three
21:57At the end of the week
21:59One man I'm sure
21:59Is going to have something
22:00To say about that
22:01Will be of course
22:02Michael Dunlop
22:03He's got a lot of work
22:04To do now
22:04We're on board
22:05With Joe Yardsley
22:05And Michael Dunlop
22:06In about fourth position
22:08Just about to go over
22:09He got him
22:10He got him
22:10He got Paul Jordan
22:11He gets the right leg out
22:12That's Michael Dunlop
22:13On six
22:14Just in behind 44
22:15Rob Hodson
22:16And Mike Brown
22:17Ahead of him in second
22:18Brown last year's winner
22:19Of this race
22:20Yeah Mike will be one
22:21To watch in this one
22:22As well
22:22The sister machine to that
22:23Ridden by Richard Cooper
22:24As a march
22:25Last weekend
22:26Did really really well
22:27For a debut round there
22:28Didn't he
22:28Brilliant
22:29Four out of four
22:30For Cooper
22:31Adamatra
22:32He'll want his team mate
22:33To try and back that up here
22:35But it's Todd
22:35Out front at the moment
22:37On board with Nathan Harrison
22:38We look back to Joe Yardsley
22:39Just in behind Joe Yardsley
22:41Is there Dominic
22:41Ervinson
22:42Who is a very very
22:43Late entry
22:43He's only got the
22:44Supersport machine
22:45Should I say
22:45Supersport Ducati
22:46Anyway
22:47Over the jumps
22:47To go
22:48Down into the bomb hole
22:49Look how all action
22:50They are over the rise
22:51As they come out of Williams
22:52To go into the bomb hole
22:53Such a great camera angle
22:55We've got there
22:56For those of you
22:57Who will know the circuit
22:57You will know
22:58That is so so tight
22:59Through there
23:00Number one
23:00And number three
23:01So it's Todd from Brown
23:02And Brown
23:03Keeping me honest
23:03Oh Mike Brown
23:04Davey Todd
23:05Little mistake
23:06Possibly there
23:06Mike Brown has got the drag
23:07Rob Hodson still third
23:09Michael Dunlop fourth
23:10Just ran a little bit wide
23:11Coming through Crossfield ways
23:12It gave Brown the opportunity
23:14And he wasn't wasting any time
23:15Straight up through
23:16Into the lead
23:17Slipstream Central
23:18What these guys are going to do here
23:19Anything wasted in the corners
23:21They've got to make up
23:22Michael Dunlop
23:22Having a little look
23:23At Rob Hodson there
23:24Paul Jordan in
23:25Round about fifth place
23:26And Mikey Evans also in there
23:27About seventh at the moment
23:28But there you go
23:29Up the inside at Stadium
23:30The left hander there
23:31The left knee just flicked out there
23:33You've got to straighten the bike up
23:34And we know how good Mike Brown
23:36Is on the brakes
23:36But Michael Dunlop's up to third
23:38Yeah it'll be Slipstream City
23:40Once again
23:40Down the bypass here
23:41All the way down to Valakagan
23:43What can Brown do
23:44About Todd
23:45We'll re-see that
23:46Set position change
23:47This was where Brown grabbed the lead
23:50Interesting that
23:51Did Davey just seem
23:52Maybe just to lose the front
23:53A little bit
23:54Maybe on a bit of gravel
23:55But give him Mike the chance
23:56To get back through
23:56But as I've seen in the stadium
23:57There you go
23:58Davey told to the Malenka
23:59By Padgett
24:00CBR 600
24:01He gets back in front
24:02Of the R6
24:02BPE by Russell Racing
24:04Yamaha
24:04Now Brown needs to think again
24:06What can he do
24:07As they head back out
24:08On to the next lap
24:08He hasn't done anything
24:09By the time they come down
24:10Through
24:11Great meadow this time round
24:13Dunlop though has
24:15Dunlop's got ahead of Hodson
24:16He is on the move there now
24:17He is hunting them down
24:18Hodson in there too
24:19And good to see Davey Todd
24:21Back at the front again
24:22On the Malenka
24:22By Padgett's machine
24:23See the neck muscles
24:24Just straining
24:25As he brings the
24:26Crash helm
24:28Into the wind
24:29It's so so stressful
24:30On their necks
24:31The neck muscles
24:31These guys have
24:32Are incredible
24:33Look at this for a battle
24:3415 Nathan Harrison
24:3565
24:36Wicco Sweeney
24:374
24:37Just there
24:37Is Mikey Evans
24:38Our switcher machine
24:39For Mikey by the way
24:40His own bike
24:41Unfortunately he had a problem
24:42So he's had to switch
24:43To the AGR Motorsport machine
24:45At Ryan and Callum Kringle
24:46Ryan and Jamie Kringle
24:49Should I say
24:49Run up at Jerby
24:50Brown having a look
24:52He's got him I think
24:52On the run down
24:53Into Balakagan
24:54On the Russell Racing machine
24:55Yep
24:55Brown back in front
24:57Can they do in the late
24:58107's early 108 pace
25:00At the moment Chris
25:00And they're not dragging
25:01Michael Dunlop with him
25:02And look
25:03They're looking for gaps
25:04There now
25:04Mike Brown knows
25:05That that Malenka
25:06By Padgett's bike
25:07Is very very fast
25:08And he'll be looking
25:09To get out of the slipstream
25:10Will he this time
25:10Davy Todd into Iron Gate
25:12Seen so many races
25:13Won and lost there
25:14But Michael Dunlop
25:15Holding a good third
25:16Dunlop will just be
25:17Ruing that start
25:18Where he gave up
25:18Those few lengths
25:19We know that bike
25:20Has got the full pedigree
25:21To be right at the front
25:22Davy Todd up the inside
25:25Into Stadium
25:26That's a really
25:27Really early move
25:28He stuck it in there
25:29Wide
25:29Mike Brown just ran
25:30The machine a little bit
25:31Wider there
25:32Davy Todd
25:33Here we go
25:34Brown in the slipstream
25:41Of Davy Todd
25:42Seven laps distance
25:44On this race
25:44Here comes Mike Brown
25:45Possibly
25:46I think a little bit
25:47Too far back
25:48To make a move
25:48This time
25:49And it looks like
25:49Michael Dunlop
25:50A retirement
25:50That's a disaster
25:51Oh no
25:52That's not what
25:53We wanted at all
25:54So dominant at the TT
25:55Michael Dunlop will have
25:56To go away
25:57And scratch his head
25:57Overnight
25:58What can he do
25:58For tomorrow
25:5944 Rob Hansen
26:01And he is now promoted
26:02Into third place
26:03And then it's a heck of a battle
26:04As you go to the far side
26:05Of the circuit
26:06You can see the length
26:07Of the shadows
26:07Is getting late
26:08On a Wednesday evening
26:09Here on the Isle of Man
26:11Paul Jordan
26:11Holding good
26:12Where's Paul
26:13Around about sixth place
26:14Fifth or sixth
26:14At the moment
26:15He of course
26:16All promoted up one
26:17Fourth place
26:18For Paul Jordan
26:18After Michael Dunlop
26:19His retirement
26:200.296
26:22Less than that now
26:23He's right with him
26:24Again
26:24He's Brown
26:25He's not letting Todd
26:26Have an easy win here
26:27At all
26:28He's absolutely
26:29Behind the Milenko machine
26:30He's going to go for it
26:31On the inside
26:32Into stadium
26:33Can he hold it?
26:34He can hold it
26:35Really really wide though
26:36There's lots
26:37There's lots of room there
26:38But no runoff at all
26:39Mike Brown up the inside
26:40It was race two
26:41Last year
26:42In the sixth Sunday
26:42Where he had a bit
26:43Of a slip off there
26:44While battling
26:44With Michael Dunlop
26:45But Paul Jordan
26:46Is chasing down
26:47Rob Hodson now
26:48Rob Hodson
26:49With a good third
26:49And we are on the final lap
26:51Chris
26:51This is anybody's
26:52This is brilliant racing
26:54Isn't it?
26:54There goes Todd again
26:55Up the inside
26:56Is he going to make it work?
26:57He is
26:57What a move that is
26:58On to the Balakagan
26:59Breaking zone
27:00There now
27:00Lots of fans
27:01Crowd in the hedges here
27:02Unique in its form
27:044.25 miles
27:0570 years
27:06This event has been going
27:07And there we are
27:08Oh a new third place
27:09Paul Jordan
27:10Up the inside
27:11Of Rob Hodson
27:12On the 44
27:13What a move by PJ
27:14Right across the front
27:15Of Hodson
27:16That was really impressive
27:17And here's the race lead
27:18Being changed once again
27:20As Todd
27:20Last past Brown
27:22Out on to
27:23This final lap
27:24We'll have to keep an eye
27:25On the lap times
27:25Because these guys
27:26Are properly racing
27:27It's Jordan now
27:29Back up to the front
27:30Of this gaggle
27:30Look who's coming to the middle
27:32Of it there
27:33Just alongside him
27:34On his right hand side
27:34Is Michael Sweeney
27:35Goodness me
27:36They were so so close
27:37Here now
27:38And Rob Hodson
27:38Has got Nathan Harrison
27:40With him as well
27:41Rob being pushed
27:42A little bit wide there
27:43By Nathan
27:44So Nathan barges his way through
27:46So it's now
27:47A new third place man again
27:49It's Michael Sweeney
27:50Where's he come from
27:50What racing this is
27:52Look at them
27:52Groups of twos and threes
27:54Absolutely elbow to elbow
27:56Todd
27:56Though is on his way
27:57To victory potentially here
28:00But where's Mike Brown
28:01And we expected Mike Brown
28:02To be in the draft
28:02He's not close enough
28:03And across the line
28:04Goes Davey Todd
28:05To take the win
28:06And a new lap record
28:07Of 111.544
28:08And also a new race record
28:10109.25
28:11And it took lap record pace
28:13Such was that race
28:14Davey Todd takes it
28:15From Mike Brown
28:17With Michael Sweeney
28:17In third
28:18Fourth
28:18Nathan Harrison
28:19And fifth
28:19Paul Jordan
28:20Then it's Rob Hodson
28:21Mikey Evans
28:21Joe Yardsley
28:22Jamie Coward
28:23And Dominic Hermeson
28:24Round out your top ten
28:25Yeah yeah
28:28Really close that
28:29It's always super fun
28:31To have a race
28:32In a battle like that
28:33They're so much better
28:35You don't think so
28:36At the time
28:37But they are so much better
28:38They mean so much more
28:39When you've worked really hard
28:40For wins like that
28:41So yeah
28:42Absolutely over the moon
28:43With that
28:43And awesome battle
28:45Kudos to Mike
28:46He's riding super well
28:47And yeah
28:48I'm looking forward
28:49To the next race
28:49I know it's going to be
28:50A good one
28:50Don't go anywhere
28:55The Balancor
28:56Still has lots of
28:57Road racing action
28:58To come
28:59Welcome back to the Isle of Man
29:07And our coverage
29:08Of the Southern
29:08100 road races
29:09We've had sidecars
29:11We've had the small bikes
29:12And now
29:12It's time for the big bikes
29:14And the Ellen Vanden Fuels Senior
29:15Davey Todd rolls
29:19The 810 Racing BMW
29:20With Michael Dullop
29:21In his wheel tracks
29:22Michael will be hoping
29:23He'll be that close
29:24At the end
29:24It's Ellen Vanden Fuels Senior Race
29:26Chris Boyd
29:27What an entry list
29:28The 700 Club
29:29Have put together
29:30For this meeting
29:31Davey Todd
29:32Dean Harrison
29:33Nathan Harrison
29:33Your front row
29:34Michael Dunlop
29:35Mike Brown
29:36And Paul Jordan
29:37On the second row
29:37It just goes on
29:38It does
29:39Rob Hansen
29:39Mikko Sweeney
29:40Erna Costamo
29:41Freshers
29:41And March of Success
29:42Jamie Coward
29:43Joe Yertley
29:44Michael Evans
29:45The front row
29:45Rose
29:46It's seven laps
29:47Distance on this one
29:48The champion
29:48Number one
29:49Davey Todd
29:49Looks the lights
29:50Bit of a hop there
29:51Oh what a start by Todd
29:52Yeah
29:52Tell you what though
29:53Nathan Harrison
29:54Lost a lot of speed
29:55Off the line there
29:56Now Nathan's going to drop
29:57Into roundabout
29:58Fourth or fifth
29:58We're just on board
29:59Here now
30:00And that's Nathan
30:01Just up on your left hand side
30:02On the H&H motorcycle machine
30:04But what a start
30:04As you quite rightly called
30:06Chris Boyd
30:07Look at that
30:07Davey Todd
30:07How far ahead he is
30:08With Dean Harrison
30:09There chasing him
30:10Into Balak Hagen
30:11Oh you've got to be so careful
30:13On the first lap
30:14Into there
30:14It's kind of like
30:15One
30:1530 odd
30:16Doesn't go into one
30:17Or 24 in this case
30:18Doesn't go into one
30:19But there's a flying bull
30:21It's Michael Dunlop
30:22He is on the move
30:23He's not hanging about
30:24He must have been back down
30:25At about sixth or seventh
30:26At the start
30:26He's working his way up
30:27Past Paul Jordan
30:28There as they go through
30:29Iron Gate
30:29And on out to his uncle Joey's
30:31Just have a little look there
30:32At Sam West
30:33Going through
30:33On number seven
30:34He's got
30:34Of course Mike Brown
30:35To contend with next
30:36That's Michael Dunlop
30:37Mike on that machine
30:38The number three bike
30:39The ex Paul Cassidy
30:40Machine
30:41But on board now
30:42With Davey Todd
30:42Looking back
30:43And then looking back
30:44To his face
30:44There now
30:45And the bumps
30:45And the hollers
30:47At the exit
30:48Of Balabeg hairpin
30:48Down through Balawetstone
30:50Bumpy Balawetstone
30:51Davey Todd
30:52He's got Dean Harrison
30:53For company
30:53What a shot
30:54This is
30:55Look at them
30:55Shake their head
30:56Over the top
30:57Of Williams
30:57And down
30:57Into Balawand
30:58Dips
30:58Awesome
30:59Camera work
31:00Yeah
31:00I've got to say
31:01Nathan Harrison
31:02Was completely
31:03Was completely out of the seat
31:04Big tank slapper
31:05As he went over
31:06The top of there
31:06And just tried
31:07To settle the machine
31:08And it is
31:09And it is Davey Todd
31:10With the two
31:10Harrisons behind him
31:12Nathan is doing
31:12His very best
31:13To stick with Dean
31:14And he's impressing
31:16Here at the
31:17Sub 100
31:17But Davey Todd
31:18Our race leader
31:18Totally focused
31:20Totally focused
31:21Those eyes
31:21You can just see
31:22The crash helmet
31:22There just not
31:23Blinking at all
31:24But Nathan Harrison
31:25Going to have a little
31:26Look up the inside
31:27Of Dean Harrison
31:27He's going to
31:28Castletown corner
31:29For the very
31:30First time
31:30Keeping a watch
31:31And brief on it all
31:32I'm sure
31:32It's Michael Dullop
31:33Who will not want
31:34These guys to get away
31:35No
31:35He will be right behind
31:36As he comes
31:37There he is
31:38I think he's went
31:38His way up to fourth
31:39There possibly
31:40Nathan Harrison
31:41Behind Dean Harrison
31:42Not maybe getting
31:43The drive
31:44Or the slipstream
31:45That he would have
31:45Wanted on the run
31:46Down through the start
31:46Finish
31:47And into Balakagan
31:48As Davey Todd
31:48Continues up front
31:50Michael Dullop
31:51As you quite rightly
31:52Say he has now
31:52Got ahead of Mike Brown
31:53So that's good news
31:54We're on board
31:55With Marcus Simpson
31:55On the 23 bike
31:57Marcus running
31:57In round about
31:59Eighth and nine
32:00Though he's just
32:00Been over
32:01Oh no he's gone
32:01Straight on
32:02And that's a
32:02Disappointment for
32:03Marcus isn't it
32:04Yeah
32:04Such a lovely night
32:08He might have been
32:08He might have been
32:08He might have been
32:10He might have been
32:11Down to Port Aaron
32:11For an ice cream
32:12Mike Brown only
32:13Swung his leg
32:13Over that machine
32:14Of practice
32:14And that's Sam West
32:15Unfortunately
32:16On the number seven
32:17Bike at the bottom
32:18Of Iron Gates
32:18Sam West unfortunately
32:19Is of a time
32:20Under his BMW
32:21Todd continues to
32:23Lead there
32:24Now onto this
32:24Next lap
32:25There's Mike Brown
32:28Going through there
32:28As well
32:29And then Paul Jordan
32:30And Rob Hodson
32:31Mick Oswini
32:34With Jamie Coward
32:35Good to see Jamie
32:35Back after that
32:36Big spill
32:37At the North
32:37Northchester 100
32:38I was speaking to him
32:38The other night
32:39He was saying
32:39He's got a bit of a
32:40Bang on the head
32:41He feels 100% better
32:42Than what he did
32:43About a month after
32:44The Northchester 100
32:45Missed the TT
32:45Obviously
32:46And that must have been
32:46Massive
32:47But Davey Todd
32:47Clearing off
32:48It looks like it
32:50And then Dean Harrison
32:50Is holding off Nathan
32:52And Nathan is actually
32:53Holding off Michael
32:53Dunlop at the moment
32:54Michael's making very
32:55Little impression
32:56On Nathan in that
32:57Third place
32:58Nathan of course
32:59Getting in the
32:59130 club
33:00At the TT
33:01This year
33:01And the kind of pace
33:02He's running
33:03He's running
33:03At the 113
33:04Nearly 114 pace
33:06It's very much
33:06A breakthrough year
33:07For Nathan Harrison
33:08Isn't it
33:08He's really moving
33:09Into that top echelon
33:10Now there
33:11We see him
33:11Just coming into view
33:12There's Dean Harrison
33:13Here comes Nathan
33:13And he is holding off
33:15Michael Dunlop
33:16He's making no real
33:16Impression
33:17Dunlop
33:17Yeah there's Mike Brown
33:18In round about
33:195th place
33:19On the number 3 machine
33:20Then we can see
33:21I think that is
33:22Paul Jordan
33:22In there too
33:23Paul on 22
33:24With Rob Hodgson
33:25In behind him
33:2665 Michael Sweeney
33:27And the returning
33:2836 of Jamie Coward
33:29Back at the front
33:30We're not back at the front
33:31We're backward there
33:31The guys are in round about
33:335th, 6th, 7th and 8th place
33:34At the moment
33:34Having a good little battle
33:36Knocking lumps out of each other
33:37I'm sure
33:37But enjoying it
33:38In the sunshine
33:39In Castletown
33:39Great scrap going on
33:41Here on the Wednesday evening
33:43At the 7100 meeting
33:45Look at this
33:45Oh four of them
33:47Dicing all the way
33:48Round this
33:484 and a quarter mile course
33:49When you stand
33:50On the left hand side
33:51Of the circuit
33:52And they go past you
33:53The whole
33:53The ground shakes
33:55It's an incredible feeling
33:57When they all go past
33:58Especially in the start
33:59This is Balakagan
34:00The right hander
34:01There we go
34:01Right out to that
34:02Lowered curve
34:03You've got to watch that there
34:04And Rob Hodson
34:05Just ahead
34:05But here we go
34:06Number four
34:07That of course
34:08Is the Manx battle
34:08Between Mikey Evans
34:10And 21
34:10Joe Yertzle
34:11This guy's running
34:13A little bit further
34:14Down the leaderboard
34:15Lower end of the top ten
34:16Perhaps for them
34:17It's Todd leading
34:17Dean Harrison
34:18Then Nathan Harrison
34:19Then Dunlop
34:20And Mike Brown
34:21Now up into fifth place
34:22Three second lead
34:23That's a big big lead
34:24After lap number five
34:25On the previous lap though
34:26Davey Todd's done a lap record
34:27114.562
34:29I beg your pardon
34:30No
34:30116.409
34:32That's a great lap
34:33211.433
34:35116.409
34:37For Davey Todd
34:37And it's showing
34:38In the splits he's got
34:39Conditions absolutely perfect
34:41Hard to believe
34:42That racing on Tuesday night
34:43We've lost due to rain
34:44At just the wrong time
34:45Yeah scary isn't it
34:46Just how quickly
34:47The seasons can change
34:48And this is a great battle
34:49Jordan
34:50Hodson
34:50Sweeney
34:51And Coward
34:52As quick as I can say it
34:53This is so quick through here
34:54The bike goes light
34:55As you go atop of there
34:56There's only really one line
34:57But Jamie Coward
34:58On the BMW
34:59Gets a great great drag
35:01And gets ahead of
35:01Mick Osweeney
35:02Right back to it
35:03Jamie Coward
35:04Great to have him back on form
35:06And dicing in the top six
35:08Look at the crowds
35:09The crowds lining
35:10This four and a quarter mile
35:11Ballown circuit
35:1270 years this has been going on
35:14This is some of the best racing
35:15I've seen
35:15And I've been watching it
35:16For nearly 45 years
35:18Coward just about to lose
35:19That place again
35:20On the slipstream
35:21On the run down
35:22Through the start finish
35:22Outload the bypass
35:23And it is the final lap
35:25That they're on
35:25And this man Davy Todd
35:26Looking like he's got
35:27The victory at the moment
35:28That lap record
35:29On that number four
35:30Two minutes
35:3111.433
35:32As Rob Hodson
35:33Makes a move on Paul Jordan
35:34And makes it stick as well
35:36On the run
35:36Into Iron Gate
35:38Yeah absolutely
35:39Got that secured
35:40Bit deep there
35:41Can he hold it though
35:42For the rest of this lap
35:43Because these four
35:44Are having an absolute ding dong
35:45They are
35:46Back to that lap record
35:48Should I say
35:48For Davy Todd
35:49116.409
35:51Not absolute lap record pace
35:53But this shot here
35:54This shot is absolutely fantastic
35:55Overlooking the entrance
35:57Into cross four ways
35:59And we run past
35:59Rob Pritchard
36:00The radio commentary there
36:02And that's such a great spot
36:03I did that one year there
36:04It's so fast
36:05Coming towards you
36:06As Dean Harrison
36:07In a lonely second place
36:08There now
36:08But he'll be happy
36:09First time out
36:10On the big bike
36:11Yeah
36:11It'll lay down
36:12A bit of a marker
36:12Won't it
36:13For the rest of the meeting
36:13As well
36:14He's not going to let Todd
36:15Have it all his own way
36:16Although Todd's got a fairly
36:17Comfortable victory here
36:18It was all made
36:20By that blazing start
36:21Some of the slow riders
36:23Just getting through there
36:23But there is your race winner
36:25It's one big bike win
36:26So far this meeting
36:27At the Southern 100
36:28For 2025
36:29For Davy Todd
36:30Who takes a race win
36:31For Dean Harrison second
36:32Nathan Harrison third
36:33Four for Michael Dunlop
36:34Fifth Mike Brown
36:35Sick Rob Hodson
36:36Then Paul Jordan
36:37Michael Sweeney
36:38Jamie Coward
36:39And Mikey Evans
36:40Rounding out the top ten
36:41116.409
36:44New lap record
36:44For Davy Todd
36:45Took me a few laps
36:47To get into the floor
36:48And just
36:48Just had a really steady
36:49First few laps
36:50Knew the guys
36:51Would be right there
36:51Behind me
36:52But once I got into my floor
36:53A little bit
36:54I could pull away
36:55A little bit of a gap
36:56And ride a little bit
36:57More comfortable
36:58With the solo
36:59Championship race
37:00Still to come
37:01A win in the opening
37:02Senior event
37:02Puts Davy Todd
37:03One step closer
37:04To repeating his
37:05Southern 100 title
37:06We'll have that final race
37:08On our second highlight show
37:09From the Boulain course
37:10But don't go anywhere
37:11As we still have
37:12One last contest for you
37:13Coming up after this
37:15It's been a thrilling
37:19First day
37:20At the Southern 100
37:21Road races already
37:22But we have one more
37:23Race to bring you
37:24Earlier in the show
37:25Davy Todd
37:26Took his first win
37:27Of the week
37:27In the H&H
37:28Motorcycles
37:29600cc race
37:30But that means
37:32Nothing now
37:32As the grid has been
37:33Reset
37:34And the Supersport
37:34Machines get
37:35Their second outing
37:36In the S&S Motors
37:37Supersport A race
37:39Can anybody challenge
37:40Davy Todd
37:41Let's find out
37:42The opening
37:44Supersport race
37:45Here
37:45The 2025
37:46Steampacket
37:47Southern 100 road
37:48Races
37:48Won by Davy Todd
37:49For Mike Brown
37:50And Michael Sweeney
37:51And we're on board
37:51With Davy Todd
37:52And the Malenka
37:53By Padgett's Honda
37:53As he rolls
37:54Into his grid position
37:55And of course
37:56That lap of 111.5
37:57Dunlop on pole
37:58Then it's Todd
37:59And Brown
37:59Row 2
38:00Jordan
38:00Harrison
38:01And Hodson
38:02Switch to row
38:03Number 3
38:04We've got Coward
38:05Good to see him
38:06Max Sweeney
38:06And Evans
38:07Dom Herbertson
38:08Gustamo
38:09Fresh from Amatra
38:10And of course
38:10Sam West
38:11Here we go though
38:12Away we go
38:14Not a good start
38:15It seemed like
38:16For Michael Dunlop
38:16But a good start
38:17By Mike Brown
38:18On the number
38:183 machine
38:19He's on the Yamaha
38:20But Davy Todd
38:21He's in first place
38:22Third place is Rob
38:23Hodson
38:24We're on board
38:24With Rob there now
38:25As we head
38:25Lap number 1
38:26Of 7
38:27As we head
38:28Towards Balakagan
38:29A tight right-hander
38:30Here on the
38:30Ballown circuit
38:31As right about
38:35Michael Dunlop
38:36Seem to be around
38:37About 6th position
38:38We're on board
38:38With Michael Sweeney
38:39Looks like he's
38:40Just in behind
38:40Local man
38:41Michael Evans
38:42There
38:42Michael of course
38:43To the late
38:43Machine change
38:44From his normal
38:45Triumph
38:45You can see the
38:46Blue bike there
38:46On the foreplate
38:47We're talking about
38:48He switched to the
38:49Bike that Jamie Kringle
38:50And Ryan Kringle
38:51Normally run up
38:52At Jerby
38:52In the Andreas Racing
38:53Association's event
38:54But at the front
38:55Davy Todd
38:56Seems to be
38:56Getting away
38:57But Paul Jordan
38:58The Northern Irishman
38:59Has got Nathan Harrison
39:00On 15
39:01Just in behind him
39:02Now look how bumpy
39:03This is on the brakes
39:04As we go to Balabag
39:05Jamie Coward
39:09Making a move
39:09On Michael Sweeney
39:10And Joe Yerchley
39:11Nearly having to do
39:12Lose a couple of points
39:13With a dab down
39:14But let's get back
39:14To the start
39:15Joe Yerchley
39:16What a start
39:17By the spin arena
39:18Dotnet Yamaha
39:19That's an absolutely
39:20Cracking start
39:20He flies behind
39:21Michael Dunlop
39:22Can he get past him
39:23No he can't
39:24Michael Dunlop
39:25Is just alongside
39:26Nathan Harrison
39:26With a thing
39:27That looks like
39:28Michael Sweeney
39:28And how close
39:29Is that
39:29To the back seat
39:31Of Nathan Harrison
39:31As he went to
39:32Balakagan
39:33Davy Todd
39:34Using all the road
39:35And more
39:36So as we get to
39:37Great Meadow
39:38Lap number one
39:38It's Todd
39:39Brown
39:40Then it's Rob
39:40Hodson
39:41Then it's
39:41Mikey Evans
39:42Then it's
39:43Michael Dunlop
39:44Wow
39:44Jamie Coward
39:45In there
39:45Paul Jordan
39:46What a start
39:47To this seven
39:47Lapper
39:48Absolutely full chat
39:52As we go for the first time
39:53Heading down
39:54To what stadium
39:54Adjusting behind
39:55Dominic Herbert's
39:56In there
39:57A late late entry
39:58To the 2025
39:59Southern 100
39:59But at the front
40:00It's definitely
40:01Davy Todd
40:02Who has the lead
40:02Third place
40:03Oh that's
40:04Michael Dunlop
40:04Goodness me
40:05The different note
40:06Of that Ducati
40:07As he blasted
40:08Past the SMT
40:09Yamaha
40:10Of number four
40:10The man around
40:11Borden
40:11Rob Hodson
40:12Is Balakagan
40:13Lap number two
40:14Over the jump
40:19Just there now
40:20Beautiful shot
40:21And there is
40:22Davy Todd
40:23With Mike Brown
40:23As he goes through
40:24The bomb hole
40:24Of Balan
40:25Dib as it's known
40:26Rising into the sunlight
40:27And then he starts
40:28To drop downhill
40:29Towards cross
40:30Four ways
40:31Let's pick up
40:32On this there
40:32Now you can see
40:33The hoist there
40:34And look at the camera
40:35Position here
40:36Brilliant brilliant
40:37Mike Brown
40:37Just getting a bit
40:38Squirrelly on the brakes
40:39As was Davy Todd
40:40They are pushing hard
40:42In this one
40:42Lapping at about
40:43108s
40:44109s at the moment
40:45But Davy Todd's
40:46Lap record of course
40:47In the first one
40:48111.544
40:50That's the mark
40:51That they've got to beat
40:52But these two
40:53They're away with
40:54Their exit across
40:54The little link road
40:56There
40:56Goes towards the stables
40:57On the right hand side
40:58Sorry the left hand side
40:59As you look at it
41:00Michael Dunlop
41:01Though he's coming
41:02Another man who's coming
41:03With a heck of a run
41:04This is Mike Brown
41:05He's not going to make a move
41:06On the outside
41:07Into the stadium
41:07Is he?
41:08Absolutely
41:09The BPE by Russell Racing
41:10Yamaha
41:11He goes to the front
41:12Right to the curb
41:13As he approaches
41:14Castletown Bridge
41:15Let's go aboard
41:15Davy Todd
41:16Let's see what he does
41:17Here now
41:18Right in behind him
41:19You see what he does
41:19He's been building that
41:20The front wheel
41:21Paws the air
41:22And he pulls to the
41:23Right hand side
41:24Of Davy's machine
41:25And Davy didn't expect it
41:26On that side
41:26I certainly didn't anyway
41:28I think I said a couple of laps
41:32A go
41:32Got to watch for Michael Dunlop
41:33Here he comes
41:34It was 2.8
41:35It's down to 2.6
41:37But I think that's closer now
41:38You know
41:38The three of them
41:39Are going to be locked together
41:40Any moment now
41:41As you drop it across four ways
41:42But here comes the Malenko
41:43By Padgett's machine
41:44There he goes
41:45Davy Todd up the inside
41:47These two
41:47Are beating themselves up a bit here
41:49Now this has given Michael Dunlop
41:51On the sixth machine
41:52Michael Dunlop
41:53MBE by the way
41:54Into third place
41:55It's given him a chance
41:56And as you can see there
41:57The ball is right on the back of them
41:59Here we go
42:00Davy Todd
42:00Looking back
42:01Michael Dunlop
42:03Looking menacing
42:04And there he goes
42:05How close is that
42:06Up the inside of Mike Brown
42:07As the exit
42:08Cross four ways
42:09The head up hill slightly
42:10And into church bends
42:11But it's Mike Brown
42:12Who's in second place
42:13With Davy Todd
42:14Just in behind him
42:16He's in the slipstream
42:16Here we go
42:17The man you've got to watch out for
42:19On this last lap
42:20Will be Michael Dunlop
42:21There we go
42:22We have a new race leader again
42:23I think he's changed
42:24One, two, three, four
42:25Five times already so far
42:27But that man in behind
42:28On the sixth
42:29On the Michael Dunlop
42:30The Ducati
42:30He could be the man to watch here
42:32He's got a great position
42:33He gets in under the bubble
42:34There now
42:35Michael's quite a broad-shouldered chap
42:36And trying to get himself
42:37In behind that bubble
42:38Mike Brown does it really well
42:40Davy Todd's also quite a broad chap
42:42At the top
42:42But Mike Brown
42:43You know
42:43On the Yamaha
42:44From the Honda
42:45And the Ducati
42:46I think Mike Brown's looking
42:47Pretty good for this one
42:48Over the railway bridge
42:49Through Joey's gaze
42:50Blast past there
42:51Look how close
42:52They get to the wall
42:53On the right-hand side
42:54Here we go
42:55Into Balabeg
42:55On the final lap
42:57Looking back up the road
43:01Up to Duck Street
43:0244
43:02We've got Rob Hodson
43:04On the SMT Yamaha
43:05Then we've got 36
43:06Jamie Cowdey's on the Triumph
43:08Then it's 22 of course
43:09That's Paul Jordan
43:10We're on board with him now
43:11The Jackson Racing
43:12Honda machine
43:13Listen to the revs change
43:15As he hits the bumps
43:16Absolutely asking for all the power
43:23Here we go
43:23Into cross four ways
43:25On the final lap
43:26Davy Todd
43:27Malenko by Padgett
43:28He's in the middle
43:29Of a Northern Irish
43:30In a Southern Irish sandwich
43:31And it's Michael Delotte
43:32Who just has dropped back
43:34A little bit there
43:34Actually
43:35As they head towards
43:36Church Benz
43:37On this final lap
43:37Past there
43:38Throngs of spectators
43:39Lining this four and a quarter mile
43:41Ballown circuit
43:42In the 70th anniversary meeting
43:44Can't believe it's been going that long
43:45I've been watching this for so long
43:47I kind of forgot
43:47There was a little bird
43:48That just decided to try and fly
43:50In front of those three
43:51Then that wasn't a good idea really
43:53Rob Hodson
43:54Good show for Rob
43:55Fourth place at the moment
43:56Fifth for Coward
43:57Sixth for Jordan
43:57Seven for Nathan Harrison
43:59On the 15 machine
44:00But here we go
44:01This is where it all goes down to
44:03Mike Brown holds the right line
44:04Swings across to the left hand side
44:06In front of Davy Todd
44:07Michael Dunlop looking menacing
44:08Don't think he's close enough
44:10I think Mike Brown's going to have this
44:11I don't think there's going to be much in it
44:13It's the drag to the line
44:14Who's going to get the race win
44:15Is it going to be Mike Brown?
44:17And it's Mike Brown on the three machine
44:18And he's happy with that
44:20Number three takes the win
44:21Mike Brown for number one
44:22Davy Todd
44:23Then it's number six
44:24Michael Dunlop coming home
44:25In third
44:26Half a second
44:27Covers the top three
44:28Then it's Hodson
44:29Coward
44:29Jordan Harrison
44:31Yardsley Costamo
44:32And Grant Thompson
44:33With a well-earned top ten
44:35Learned a bit off Davy
44:37On these breaking markers
44:38In a few weeks
44:38Yesterday
44:38Just took from that
44:39And made a bit of a step
44:41With the bike
44:41And it worked
44:42So
44:42No I'm happy to get a win
44:44And as I say
44:45It's nice to get a different name
44:46On the top step of the podium
44:47For a change
44:48Mike Brown may have sealed the deal
44:53And outpaced Davy Todd
44:54But the Ducati of Michael Dunlop
44:55Is getting quicker
44:56And quicker
44:57That marks an end
45:01To today's
45:02Southern 100 road racing action
45:03Make sure to tune in
45:04For our second highlight show
