EDWARDS JOINS TRIBUTE LAP

Castrol Honda World Superbike star Colin Edwards joined the Joey Dunlop Tribute Lap around the TT course on Monday afternoon on the Isle of Man.

The lap was led away by Honda’s Bob McMillan on Dunlop’s 2000 Formula One TT-winning SP-1 Honda – he was joined by long time sponsor John Harris, Isle of Man Minister of Tourism David Cretney and Gary Dunlop, son of the late TT legend Joey.

Immediately behind the “JOEY” tribute quartet came Edwards, riding a road-going VTR1000 superbike ­ the customer version of his World Superbike machine.

Edwards completed the 37.73-mile circuit in a little more than 30 minutes. He said: “That was awesome. I was following the four in front and using them as a gauge. I’ve had a great time over here and I’d like to thank everyone for letting me be a part of the TT and today’s Tribute Lap.”

Honda’s Bob McMillan commented: “That lap was absolutely brilliant. I’ve never, ever seen so many people out waving, it was breathtaking. The sun was shining and we were followed by about 100 race machines from years gone by, it was a real treat for everyone.”
