He won by 24.32 seconds over Barry Furber, while third-placed Joe Yeardsley — fastest in qualifying — finished just 0.4 seconds behind Furber in a tight battle for second.

Pulling a lap over 120mph on the Mountain Course is no small thing. Being the first-ever winner of a brand-new class comes with its own pressure, and Hodson still put down the fastest lap of the race. Furber holding on for second on fumes — that's the kind of corner-to-corner grind that shreds your nerves. From what I've seen trackside, races like this are the ones that really get under your skin.

120.276mph is a serious pace for a 600cc-class machine.

A 0.4-second gap for third place is nerve-wracking just to read about.

24 seconds back, Farber's still well within striking distance next time.

Being the inaugural champion of a brand-new class is a huge title to hold.

It's a new class with fewer entries so far — the real test is whether the grid grows.
