Quattro Kawasaki’s James Hiller joined a brand new club in today’s Pokerstars Senior TT that contains just five riders who have lapped in excess of 132mph on the Isle of Man.

Hiller, who claimed second place behind John McGuinness, put in a 132.414mph to claim the third fastest ever lap of the Mountain Course and took his second podium of the day after second place in the Lightweight TT and claiming the class lap record with a 120.848mph.

“To be sitting here with second in the Senior is unreal and it’s hard to explain that final lap. I kept pushing, hit all my markers and the 132mph lap happened! I’m overwhelmed and am made up for the team as much as myself as they’ve put such a massive amount of effort in,” said Hillier.

“I can’t believe it and it’s been a mega week for all of us. We’ve been battling at the front of all our races but hats off to John today. The race pace this week has been crazy but it’s been a cracking week and we’ll be celebrating later for sure.

“The last lap of the Lightweight didn’t feel as fast as what it was but I was riding the wheels off the bike and had a few moments. I’m happy to get the lap record but a little disappointed not to win and perhaps I could have been a bit quicker on the opening lap.

“I gave it everything I had the whole way through but just wasn’t quite quick enough to get the better of Ivan. The gap was close on the last lap and it kept going up and down, which is hard to get your hear around but it’s another podium and full credit to the team who’ve been mega.”
