Paul Jordan claimed victory in Friday afternoon’s single lap Historic Junior Classic TT race.
The Davies Motorsport Honda rider got the better of Dean Harrison by nine seconds while Harrison’s team-mate Jamie Coward completed the podium in third.
The race was cut to one lap due rain showers around the course after the preceding Historic Senior Classic TT race.
Joe Yeardsley was the first to reach Glen Helen having already overhauled John McGuinness on the road.
However, Harrison had caught both although he was only third quickest to the first timing point. It was qualifying pace setter Michael Evans who led before he was forced to retire.
Lead
At Ballaugh Bridge, Jordan hit the front and turned his deficit into a 0.8s advantage. At Ramsey, Jordan now led Harrison by 3.2s with Coward 9.8s back in third.
Jordan extended his lead by more than five seconds between Ramsey and the Bungalow. With just over six miles to go, he led Harrison by 8.494s.
Harrison was first to take the chequered flag with a speed of 103.179mph, but it was Jordan who took the win. A lap of 103.890mph gave him victory by 9.012s.
Coward claimed the final podium position in third and it was Sayle who grabbed fourth from Yeardsley and McLean. The top six all lapped at more than 100mph.
