Wayne Hamilton lived up to his pre-race favourite billing by taking victory in the opening race of the Manx Grand Prix this evening (Saturday).
The 20 year-old Northern Irishman produced a commanding performance to win the Newcomers A race, finishing 20 seconds ahead of William Davison and David Kennington.
After the race, Hamilton told Chris Kinley he was never taking anything for granted.
Gavin Lupton was also a clear winner in the Newcomers B race, ahead of Scott Smyth and Wayne Axon.
Over 50 riders entered the two classes to gain their first experience of road racing on the Isle of Man.
