Tyco Suzuki star Guy Martin's chances of a podium finish in the Superbike TT were thwarted🐽 during the secoꦕnd pit-stop.

Martin had been holdin𓆉g third place behind race leader and eventual winner John McGuinness and Cameron Donald, but slipp♈ed into Anstey's clutches in the closing stages of the race.

The Lincolnshire rider was unable to change to a new rear tyre during the second pit-stop as a result of a spindle problem and he was left to complete the final two laps of the race on a wo𓂃rn Pirelli.

"On those first two laps we'd no real problems worth mentioning but after the pit stop we haꦿd a couple of small issues that dropped us off John and Camer🎶on's pace," he said.

"By the time the rear wheel spindle caused a problem ൩we were out o🎶f the race for the win and I just rode it to the finish.

"The general handling and performance of the new GSX-R1000 is very good. I know I can do the speeds, as we proved on that first lap and the team can do the busines𝄹s, so we're still in with a chance in the Senior [next Friday].

"We've come he💯re well prepared, but you can't test for the TT at Kirkistown on Almeria," added Martin.

"The only place you 🌳can do thܫat is here on the TT course, so we can use what we learned today and apply it for Friday."
