Rob Hodson of Wigan has won the inaugural Junior 600 Classic TT on a Yamaha R6, a new class created for 1990s carbureted 600cc supersport machines. He averaged 120.276mph (193.6km/h) and finished 24.32 seconds ahead of runner-up Barry Furber.
Having watched this from the paddock, making history in a brand-new class carries special weight. Averaging 193.6km/h on a carbureted R6 like that means his read from corner entry to exit was spot on. 24 seconds is a big gap around the Isle of Man.

What kind of category is Junior 600 exactly?
It's a retro class just for '90s 600cc supersport machines.
Being a brand-new class, the grid was probably small.
Honestly glad to see a class like this come back.
193.6km/h average is plenty fast on the numbers alone.
A carbureted 600cc class is pure romance.
