Evergreen Bruce Anstey earned his 29th rostrum finish at 🔯the Isle of Man TT races as the Kiwi took third in the RL360 Superstock event o༺n Tuesday.

Anstey opted to err on the side of caution after a significant mome🐼nt at Glen Helen on lap three, shutting off to bring the Valvoline Padgett's Honda Fireblade home in a safe third place behind Michael Dunlop and Dean Harrison.

The 44-year-old, who set a new outright lap record for the Mountain Course of 132.298mph on his way to fourth place in Saturday's Dainese Superbike race, also finished in the top three with a runner-up result in Monday's Supersport event to underline his versatility.

"We had a decent start but Mich🎉ael [Dunlop] managed to catch me and I thought I'd try and keep with him, but he managed to get Guy [Martin] between us and he broke away then," Anstey said.

"I kep🦋t my head down and pushed and we had a good pit-stop by the guys again, so I was really pleased with that.

"I tried to push on to catch back up to Dean [H🍸arrison] on the third lap but I'd a big slide through Glen Helen and I just thought I'd bring it home safely after that. Conditions were pretty much perfect and I'm happy with third place."

Anstey starts Wednesday's scheduled TT Zero race with a superb opportunity to claim his tenth TT win on the Mugen and also has another bite at the cherry in the💛 second Supersport race plus Friday's showpiece PokerStars Senior TT.
