Ryan Farquhar has added more silverware to his collection by winning the 500cc classic Manx Grand Prix.

The Northern Irish racer's Paton twin developed a bad misfire but it didn't stop the Dungannon man from pulling out a lead of nearly two minutes by the end of the race.

Chris Palmer took up second and Mark Herbertson was elevated to third as Scotland's Wattie Brown broke down at Governor's Bridge on the last lap and was forced to push his bike in.

Ryan told Manx Radio it was a tough race despite the big winning margin:

Mark Parrett, on a BSA Rocket 3, was the only finisher in the Formula Classic race - his first Manx Grand Prix finish since 2007.
