John McGuinness made his intentions clear right from the start of today's (Saturday) Superbike race.

A TT win and in record time. No one has ever gone quicker around the Isle of Man.

But there was disappointment for other top names.

Guy Martin on the number one plate was out at Sulby on the first lap - a end to his challenge, which had seemed so promising during the practice sessions.

Bruce Anstey and Adrian Archibald could also have contested the crown, but they two were forced to retire early on.

But it was McGuinness' day - the pre-race favourite, six laps he made his own with the only problem being with back-markers towards the end.

No one was able to stay with the Morecambe missile who secured a race record and a new absolute lap record speed, 127.93.
