New Zealander Bruce Anstey won Wednesday's Junior 600cc TT around the 37.73 mile island circuit.

The fired up Anstey brought his Triumph ValMoto home to a stunning victory in one hour 15 minutes 13.98 seconds.

The Kiwi visitor came home 10.96 seconds ahead of Ian Lougher with Ulsterman Adrian Archibald in third place a further five seconds back.

Fourth-placed Ryan Farquhar broke the lap record with a time of 18 minutes 30.65 averaging 122.30 mph.

Anstey's victory gave British manufacturers their first win at the Isle of Man for 28 years, and the Kiwi's debut on top of the podium.

Meanwhile, Robert Dunlop won his appeal after being disqualified from fourth place in Monday's 125cc race.

The Ballymoney rider failed to comply with the regulations regarding the parking of machine in the parc ferme area after the race.
