Superbike TT from Glen Helen with Tony Goldsmith

After a delay of 24 hours due to high winds on the Isle of Man the Superbike TT finally got underway at 2pm on Sunday.

I had decided before this year’s TT that I would photograph the Superbike race from the Glen Helen section. Around 9 miles from the start, Glen Helen is a tight tree lined section that would provide plenty of variety for the six-lap race.

I hope you enjoy the following selection of photos from that excursion.

Michael Dunlop was in 3rd place when he crashed on the final lap trying to avoid a fallen rider. Thankfully both he and the other rider are okay.

Bruce Anstey’s Superbike TT victory was his first “big bike” win at the Isle of Man TT.

A 4th place finish for John McGuinness wasn’t quite what he was hoping for, but he has plenty more opportunities to claim another TT win.

James Hillier’s fine ride was rewarded with a podium finish.

Manxman Dan Kneen took 7th place on his Valvoline Padgett’s Honda.

Peter Hickman, the fastest newcomer in TT history finished 8th on his BMW.
