Quayle became the first Isle of Man resident to win a solo TT since Neil Kelly's 1967 victory. The 29-year-old led from start to finish in a race run on a damp circuit after heavy overnight rain.

'This is my dream,' said Quayle. 'I've never wanted to do anything else in my life but win a TT, this is all I've ever dreamed of.'

Quayle added: 'It was a bit damp in places on the opening lamp so I had to take it steady but after that the conditions were good.'

Quayle won by 22 seconds from Yamaha-mounted Jim Hodson with Ulsterman Richard Britton third on a Kawasaki.

FOURTH TT WIN FOR HONDA-MOUNTED LOUGHER

Ian Lougher took the fourth TT victory of his career with a win in Monday morning's four-lap Ultra-Lightweight race on his RS125cc Honda.

But Lougher was forced to work hard, taking the lead from Jason Crumpton on the nine-mile run to the Glen Helen section of the course, after the second-lap pit stop.

'That was a close one,' admitted Lougher after his third win in the 125cc class. 'I went flat out from the off but there were certain places where you had to be careful. It was very wet on the run out of Ramsey hairpin and I had a couple of slides, but nothing to worry about too much.'

Crumpton, on his 33rd birthday, held on for a career-best TT result with second place while four times winner of the race Robert Dunlop took third as Hondas filled the top nine places.

Chris Palmer took fourth as he, winner Lougher and runner-up Crumpton all smashed the lap record on their fourth and final lap ­ Lougher the fastest at an average speed of 110.21mph.

Ultra-Lightweight 125cc TT result (four laps ­ 150.92 miles): 1 Ian Lougher, GB (Honda) 1hr 23m 20.4s ­ 108.65mph, 2 James Crumpton, GB (Honda) 1hr 23m 40.7s ­ 108.21mph, 3 Robert Dunlop, GB (Honda) 1hr 24m 35.7s ­ 107.04mph, 4 Chris Palmer, GB (Honda) 1hr 25m 42.2s ­ 105.65mph, 5 Garry Bennett, GB (Honda) 1hr 26m 44.8s ­ 104.38mph, 6 Alan Jackson, GB (Honda) 1hr 29m 32.3s ­ 101.13mph, 7 Jonathan Vincent, GB (Honda) 1hr 29m 41.7s ­ 100.95mph, 8 Nigel Bish, GB (Honda) 1hr 30m 11.4s ­ 100.40mph, 9 Noel Clegg, GB (Honda) 1hr 30m 12.9s ­ 100.37mph, 10 Bruce Anstey, New Zealand (Yamaha) 1hr 30m 32.9s ­ 100.00mph.

David Jefferies won the 1000cc Production TT on the Isle of Man after a record-breaking three-lap race on Monday afternoon.

Jefferies took his TT wins tally to eight with a 17-second victory over Welshman Ian Lougher ­ the Ultra-Lightweight 125cc race winner just three hours earlier.

The surprise of the race was New Zealander Bruce Anstey, taking third place after opting to refuel at the end of lap one for a two lap blast to the chequered flag. The rest of the front runners chose to refuel at the end of lap two.

Behind third-placed Anstey came Scotsman Jim Moodie with his fellow Scot Iain Duffus fifth and Honda's John McGuinness sixth in the sun-kissed race around the 37.73-mile circuit, in which lap and race records were broken.

1000 Production TT result (three laps ­ 113.19 miles): 1 David Jefferies, GB (Suzuki) 55m 22.5s ­ 122.64mph, 2 Ian Lougher, GB (Suzuki) 55m 38.0s ­ 122.07mph, 3 Bruce Anstey, New Zealander (Suzuki) 56m 05.2s ­ 121.08mph, 4 Jim Moodie, GB (Yamaha) 56m 33.4s ­ 120.08mph, 5 Iain Duffus, GB (Suzuki) 56m 43.0s ­ 119.74mph, 6 John McGuinness, GB (Honda) 56m 55.8s ­ 119.29mph, 7 Richard Britton, GB (Suzuki) 57m 01.4s ­ 119.09mph, 8 Richard Quayle, GB (Suzuki) 57m 16.1s ­ 118.58mph, 9 Adrian Archibald, GB (Honda) 57m 18.2s ­ 118.51mph, 10 Jason Griffiths, GB (Yamaha) 57m 27.1s ­ 118.21mph.

EDWARDS JOINS TRIBUTE LAP

Castrol Honda World Superbike star Colin Edwards joined the Joey Dunlop Tribute Lap around the TT course on Monday afternoon on the Isle of Man.

The lap was led away by Honda's Bob McMillan on Dunlop's 2000 Formula One TT-winning SP-1 Honda - he was joined by long time sponsor John Harris, Isle of Man Minister of Tourism David Cretney and Gary Dunlop, son of the late TT legend Joey.

Immediately behind the 'JOEY' tribute quartet came Edwards, riding a road-going VTR1000 superbike ­ the customer version of his World Superbike machine.

Edwards completed the 37.73-mile circuit in a little more than 30 minutes. He said: "That was awesome. I was following the four in front and using them as a gauge. I've had a great time over here and I'd like to thank everyone for letting me be a part of the TT and today's Tribute Lap."

Honda's Bob McMillan commented: "That lap was absolutely brilliant. I've never, ever seen so many people out waving, it was breathtaking. The sun was shining and we were followed by about 100 race machines from years gone by, it was a real treat for everyone."
