Plater rode to a strong 15th place in the Superstock race on Tuesday to finish as second fastest newcomer behind fellow rider Gary Johnson.
At the end of the first lap he was placed at 23rd but made up time during the second lap and was 16th fastest rider when he came in for a fuel stop. He had clocked up the fifth fastest speed through the Sulby speed trap with a flyer at 177.1mph and made it up to 15th on the final lap.
“I am happy with that result,” said Plater, “I now have another silver trophy to add to the one I picked up last night for the Superbike race. As a newcomer to the Island races I didn't expect too much but I have exceeded my expectations so far and improved my lap times with each passing lap in this race today.”
After three of his four races on the Island Plater has picked up a silver trophy each time and will be looking to add to his haul of silverware with another good result from the final race of the week, the blue ribbon Senior TT to be run over six laps of the TT course on Friday 8th with a scheduled start time of 10.45am.
