Danie🌌l Ingham 𒈔dominated the shortened Senior race at the 2024 Manx Grand Prix, winning on his Castings Technology Yamaha by over 30 seconds.

Due to the severe disruption to Monday’s race progr𝓡amme as a result of poor weather, the Senior Manx GP race was shortened to two laps.

The second race on the bill following the combined Classic Senior and Classic Junior event, Ingham was untouchable on his YZF-ꩲR6 Y🐈amaha.

Setting off at number one on the roa♓d, Ingham held a 5.5-second lead through Glen Helen for the first time and would never be caught⛦ on corrected time.

He bested Chris Cook and Sam Joꦬhnson𝔉, who rounded out the podium.

After taking the lead by 5.5s 💖at Glen Helen on the first lap, Ingham was 11.2s clear of the rest at Ballaugh.

Through💖 Ramsey that lead had swelled to 15.2s, with Ingham👍 completing the run over the mountain back to the Grandstand with his advantage as the leader holding at 23.130s.

Completing that first lap at 118.762mph, Ingham continued to extend his lead over the second lap as he event🐻ually backed off his pace a touch.

Taking the chequered flag 35.394s of Cook, Ingham’s last lap was a 118.86🔜8mph as he celebrated a maiden Manx GP win.

Sam Johnson (Ron Soar/Dynamic Ac🏅cess) was initially Ingham’s closest challenger at Glen Helen on lap one, with the Kawasaki rider running second ahead of Jacque Foley.

But Cook had🍒 leaped up from fourth to second at Ballaugh and ceme🎉nted that position over the rest of the first lap, before easing away from Johnson.

Cook was second at 117🍌.606mph,🅘 with Johnson 17.045s adrift in third with a best of 116.895mph.

Julien Cregni𒀰ot was fourth on his Yamaha, with Michael Gahan fifth at the finish from Johnny Stewart, Gerald Dath and Foley, whose early podium chꦿallenge faded rapidly.

Lancelot Un꧋issart and Ryan Whitehall com🥀pleted the top 10. 

Dan Sayle suffered a breakdown in the previous Classic Senior/Classic Junior contest and faced a race a☂gainst time to get back to the paddock to take p🥀art in the Senior Manx GP. 

He made 🦩it to his bike courtesy of a lift from a spectator 🤪by car and set off last on the road. Battling for the top 10 on corrected time at one stage, he finished 16th.
