Ryan Kneen on the 600cc Suzuki GSXR

Manx riders Ryan and Daniel Kneen became the first brothers to win MGP Newcomer races in the same year.

Ryan took the chequered flag in the "A" class with elder brother Daniel taking the "C" class honours.

With rain and low cloud delaying the action, racing finally got underway around the Mountain Course over six hours later than scheduled.

The Newcomer race was reduced to half distance over two laps as there were still hazardous wet patches.

In the Senior Classic, Ryan Farquhar won on the Paton for the second year in a row.

Farquhar finished just over 20 seconds ahead of Alan Oversby who recorded only his second classic race finish in 20 years.

Ramsey's Alan Brew gave the Manx further cause for celebration, completing the podium places in third.
