Birchalls smash lap record to create history in Sidecar win at Isle of Man TT

Ben and Tom Birchall compl꧃eted a 120.357mph lap - the first time it's ever been done by a Sidecar pair - to continue their iron grip over the class at the 🌠TT.
They finished 24.066s ahead of second-placed duo P𝔉ete Founds and Jevan Walmsley.
Founds and Walmsley had threatened to give the Birchalls a run for their money on the opening lap, until the eventual winners cranked it up a notch. They added near🐓ly a mile per hour to their average lap.
John Holden and Maxime Vasseur were third.
This w💯as the 13th TT victory for the Birchalls, hꦑistory-makers once again.
This was the 100th year of Sidecars at the ဣIsle of Man TT and the Birchal🐈ls becoming the fastest pair ever in the class was a fitting way to celebrate.
Ryan and Callum Crowe had looked competitive and eyed the podium in the early stages♍, until they were forced to retire.
Tom Birchall said: "Everyth💛ing just clicked. I knew it was coming."
