Thomas Montano wins a Silver Replica in the Senior TT
===========================================
As reported by telephone from Bushy's beer tent at the race pits in Douglas, Isle of Man, American racer Thomas Montano riding a Munroe Motors MV Agusta F4 1000 S scored a top finish in the Senior TT.
In the most prestigious race of the annual two week road race event, Montano maintained an average of 118.4 mph for the grueling six lap, 227 mile race held on public roads, which included two pit stops for gas. This gave him 13th place, but importantly he finished within 105-percent of race winner John McGuinness' time, thereby winning a rare Silver Replica.
Montano's MV Agusta F4 1000 S is a stock unit off the Munroe Motors' showroom floor with a pipe, a chip and an Öhlins shock.
"The bike is so easy to ride" Montano said between sips of beer. "If I hadn't had a little clutch slip, I'd have gone even faster. The bike was awesome!".

Enjoy the ride!
