Ben and Tom Birchall giving it everything in the first sidecar race of TT 2013. Sadly their commitment was to be their undoing as they clipped the bank at Keppel Gate on the first lap and blew the sidecar tyre, necessitating a retirement at the Creg-ny-baa.
The second race proved to be a golden one for the Mansfield brothers as they finally scored their maiden win to much rejoicing from the Manx Gas/Klaffi team.
