Marcus Christie has taken a very clear victory in the National TT Championships trial event, scorching around the course in Donegal in a blistering time last year.

The Performance SBR man has
been training in the US since the start of the year for a planned assault on
the world hour record.

And he has clearly come home
with some very good form; recording an average speed of 48.5km per hour on a
rolly 42.3km course in Burt last night.
