ANSTEY PULLS OUT OF FIRST TT

Kiwi Bruce Anstey pulled out of Monday's delayed Superbike race on the first lap. A faulty fuel sensor ruled him out of the race barely 12 kilometeres(km) into the 360 plus km (226mile) event.

MotoGp legends Valentino Rossi and Giacomo Agostini were on hand to congratulate him after his 2 hour effort.

Anstey will be racing again tomorrow morning (our time) in the first Supersport race. Again tomorrow night (2245hrs start, our time) and again Saturday (0100hrs our time)
