He went onto lap in excess of 113 mph, finishing second quickest newcomer, last night’s practice, saw him increase his pace at the most famous road race in the world, lapping at a more than creditable 113.677 mph.

Following in the footsteps of his road racing hero three time TT winner Adrian Archibald, Seamus has stated, that the Isle of Man TT is like nothing else.

For every rider making their TT debut, year one will always be a learning year, it’s no different for the winner of the opening supersport race at last years Southern 100.

Seamus has also stated, that he would like to finish quickest newcomer, at TT 2016, but the most important aspect of these two weeks, is to enjoy the experience of competing at a meeting, where golden achievements, are never far away.

Youngest rider at TT 2016, Josh Daley, since starting racing when he was 12 in the Aprilia super teens class, stated that his whole racing career to date, has been building up to competing at the TT Races.

Since 2009 Josh has been constantly watching on board videos of the Mountain Course, in the winter of 2015/2016 he did countless laps of the famous road racing circuit, lap upon lap building up his knowledge of the course.
