Ben and Tom Birchall have secured their seventh consecutive Isle of Man TT Sidecar victory, and 10th overall, to complete a perfect event.

Having dominated the one-lap opening Sidecar TT on Monday, the Birchall brothers repeated the feat on the Haith Live Your Adventure LCR over the two-lap race taking victory by a 20.511s margin over John Hඣolden and Lee Cain on the SBR Honda.

🧜The leading S𒁃idecar duo were evenly matched over the opening lap before the Birchall pair began to pull away almost at will for a comfortable victory.

Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley completed the podium for Rowtec Engineering Suzuki, over half a minute behind Holden and Cain, with Tim Reeves and Mark Wilkes taking fourth place but over one minute of the rostrum finishers on the Team Berlin Exp🐎ress Yamaha.

SBR Honda’s Lewis Blackstock and Patrick Rosney had led the charge for fourth place until the pair briefly stopped on the second lap at Glen Helen with a suspected technica𝓡l💃 problem dropping them to seventh place by the finish.

Gary Bryan and Philip Hyde rounded out the top five on the GBM UK Baker, while debutant duo Ryan🤪💙 and Callum Crowe – who finished fifth in the opening race – failed to make the start with a technical issue on the Haven Homes Triumph.
