Nathan won the Manx Grand Prix Junior race! However he didn't give himself an easy race as he left the pit lane on the second lap too quickly resulting in a 30 second penalty and he fell to 4th position.
A great pit stop by the team and a fast pace to Glen Helen meant that Nathan was back up to 2nd place and only 7 seconds down on the leader. By Ramsey he had cut the gap to 2.5 seconds and by the Bungalow Nathan took the lead by just 0.3 of a second. Nathan crossed the finish line to take the win with a 3.7 second advantage!
Nathan also became the 21st member of the ‘Tommy Club’ with a first lap of 120.556mph. A brief calculation of Nathan’s final lap without a pit stop and time penalty showed a remarkable speed of 122mph!!
