The race was held over four laps (150 miles) which he completed in one hour and 15 minutes. This includes a pit stop to refuel the bike after two laps. This year, he recorded his fastest ever time round the 37.37-mile course in 18 minutes, 32 seconds which is an average speed of over 122mph. He received two bronze replicas for these results.
