Dougie Lampkin's attempt to continuously wheelie around the 37-mile Isle of Man TT course was postponed on Saturday due to high winds.

Gusts of 55mph were expected which would have made the ride impossible.

The North Yorkshireman's attempt on Sunday went more to plan though - after setting off from the grandstand in the town of Douglas, 12-time World Trials champion Dougie battled the winds, traffic (the roads remained open during the attempt) and the sharp rises and falls of the TT circuit to lap the course in one hour 35 minutes!
