 As for the initial 15 minute race delay, Dave Molyneux said that;- "It gave me just the breathing space I needed to fit the new dashboard and get the bike restarted, which it did perfectly...I’m not a big animal lover, but if I could find that dog I’d love it for life".The Blue Riband event of the Isle of Man Centenary TT Race week was the Senior TT race over 6 lap (226.38 miles) of the TT Course.The first lap quickly produced retirements for three of the race favourites with Ryan Farquhar retiring at the Hawthorn near to Greeba Bridge, Martin Finnegan at Ballig and the winner of the 2007 Superstock TT Race when Bruce Anstey retired at the TT Grandstand at the end of lap 1 with handling problems.
