Pit stop key to race win - Hutchinson

Ian Hutchinson secured his second Isle of Man TT win in a thrilling Supersport race after leader Bruce Anstey retired just miles from the finish.

The Padgett's Honda rider from Yorkshire won by seven seconds from Guy Martin with Scot Keith Amor a further two seconds behind in third.

Steve Plater, John McGuinness and Ryan Farquhar completed the top six.

New Zealander Anstey had the consolation of setting a new class lap record of 126.54mph.

There was early drama as Michael Dunlop, fastest man in practice, retired at Union Mills on the first lap.

Martin was the early leader but he was overhauled on lap two by Anstey, who led until his retirement, leaving Hutchinson to take victory.

The riders are back in action later on Tuesday in the Superstock race.
