The 2012 Isle of Man TT is shaping up to be a good fortnight for Mr. John McGuinness, as the King of the Mountain has claimed another TT race victory with the Royal London 360 Superstock TT race. Again making his lead in the first lap, McGuinness rode an uncontested race for the four lap TT, getting his 19th TT race win with a comfortable 8 second margin. It wasn’t all easy street for McPint though, as Ryan Farquhar was only 0.17 seconds behind McGuinness after the first lap, though the Padgett’s Honda rider was able to stretch that lead out over the second lap, and gain even more of an advantage in the sole pitstop of the race.
