Davey Todd won his first-ever r🥀ace at the Isle of Man TT on Thursda♍y.
Vict🌱ory in the first Superstock TT of this year's ꦆevent brought about the huge personal milestone for Todd.
He edged Peter Hickman by 2.2 seconds.
Mic♉hael Du🌞nlop was third, Dean Harrison fourth, James Hillier fifth.
Todd, leading by the end of the first lap out of♈ three, was two seconds faster than Hickman, who was chasing him, at the compulsory pit stop.
He maintained his lead throughout even when he was fꦑollowing third-pla🐽ced Dunlop down the road, somewhat stuck in traffic.
Hickman꧟ cut the gap to leader Todd to just 0.5s at Ballaugh on the third and final lap.
They duꩲelled in an exciting battle but TAS Racing BMW rider Todd held of Hickman to win for the first time at the TT.
Hickman had not been beaten at the TT in the S🌞uperstock class since 2018. He holds the lap record with these bikes, too.
