Michael Dunlop won the Classic TT Formula One race at an average of 129mph aboard a 30-year-old Suzuki GSX-R 750 making around 150 horsepower. That erased Bruce Anstey's 127.496mph class record from 2017, and three of the top four beat the old mark. It was Dunlop's 47th Mountain Course win and his fifth in this class.

An average of 129mph on a 30-year-old chassis making 150 horsepower. Faced with that number I cannot help recalling the texture of old racing films. When I first saw those scenes, I believed the newest machine always won. Forty-seven Mountain Course victories sit in territory that a bike's model year cannot explain. Peter Hickman's rotary retired after one lap with a fuel pump fault.

Averaging 129mph on the Mountain Course makes you forget these are public roads.

Second and third both on ZXR750s. It's like a nineties grid came straight back.

Anstey's 127.496mph dates from 2017, so that's about 1.5mph in nine years.

Tyres and tarmac have both changed, so I don't think you can call it a straight speed gain.

129mph on a 30-year-old GSX-R 750. I genuinely had to read that number twice.

If Hickman's rotary hadn't retired after a lap, this would be a different story.
