WIND IN THE P46 (BMW) and eventual third-placed Michael Dunlop (Honda). But the icing on the cake for Todd came in a shortened four- lap Senior TT, with the 28-year- old putting on a blistering per - formance to secure a massive 39-second win over Josh Brookes (BMW) and Dean Harrison. Todd, Harrison, Dunlop and Pe - ter Hickman were all in contention early in the Senior TT, but Dunlop retired before the end of lap one with machine trouble, and Hick- man, on course to break the lap record on lap two, slid off at Ginger Hall, thankfully without injury. Todd, by now, was way out in front and brought it home to take TAS Racing's first Senior TT win since Adrian Archibald's win in 2004. In the Sidecar class, it was local brothers Ryan and Callum Crowe who took back-to-back TT wins and recorded the second fastest Sidecar lap in history at 120.335 mph. Following their success in race one when they triumphed by 26.8 seconds ahead of Pete Founds and Jevan Walmsley, with Alan Founds and Rhys Gib- bons in third, the Crowe brothers claimed their second win of the event. The race was shortened to two laps after the initial start was red-flagged when newcom- ers Todd Ellis and Emmanuelle Clement went off at Waterworks. Both the rider and passenger were reported as okay; however, their outfit was blocking the road. Ben Birchall and Kevin Rous - seau came home second, and third went to Dave Molyneux and Jake Roberts. CN Davey Todd's win in the Senior TT was dominant, coming home nearly 40 seconds ahead of two-time British Superbike Champion Josh Brookes. The brothers Crowe, Ryan and Callum were unstoppable in the Sidecar division.
