Bruce Anstey: "I’m just so glad to have been able to give Suzuki, Relentless and all our other sponsors the race win, especially after the disaster for us all on Monday. I was a bit uptight on that first lap, but from lap two I just got into a comfortable rhythm and the bike was faultless. I think I could actually have gone faster but the wind was quite severe on the Mountain. I’m really delighted, that’s all I can say."

Cameron Donald: "We’d made some significant changes to the bike and I was really up for it. I got into the groove pretty quickly and was feeling good to be honest. After a really good pit stop where we made up some time thanks to the boys, I think I was up to eighth when the bike just stopped on the Mountain. My dad is listening at home in Australia so I cheekily asked to use the emergency phone at the Mountain Box - as it was an emergency for me - and rang Oz to let him know I was ok!"

John McGuinness: "I got away from the start really well and everything felt good in the first 10 miles but when I went along the Cronk y Voddy straight for the first time, my feet started slipping off the pegs. I kind of knew there and then that something was wrong and, when I could, I glanced down at the bike and noticed there was oil leaking from somewhere. It was only going to get worse so I had no option other than to retire."

"It’s disappointing for everyone, especially for all the team who have worked so hard and I think Clive’s ready to throw himself in to the Irish Sea! It’s one of those things though and isn’t anyone’s fault, that’s just the nature of the TT. We’ve got one more chance to put it right and get a win so let’s hope the Senior is the one."

Guy Martin: "What can I say. I didn’t come here to finish sixth that’s for sure but at least I got a finish today and sixth is a lot better than being parked up by the side of the road. We just lacked a bit of power today and what with all the problems we’ve had with the 600 both here and at the North West 200, we’ve just ran out of time getting the thing dialled in."

"I rode as hard as I could for the entire race and I was giving it 100% from start to finish and you can’t do much more than that. It obviously wasn’t meant to be today but the Senior gives us one final chance to nail that elusive win. I’m going all out for that one and it would be great to end the week on a high. Fingers crossed!"

Keith Amor: "After the success on Monday, to say today has been a disaster would be an understatement. I had really high hopes of improving on that third place but as soon as I set off I hit problems and there were sparks and flames everywhere when I went down Bray Hill - I’m sure it looked spectacular from the outside but it was pretty hair raising on the bike!"

"It was a 10p part that started chafing against the wiring loom and with the heat of the bike, something started melting and that was it. I carried on but the bike was getting slower and slower and I didn’t even get to complete a lap. It’s been a bit of an up and down TT for me but we’ve still got the Senior left so I’ll be giving it my best to get a good result there and finish on a positive note."
