Pushing on and getting closer to the limit with each lap were Gordon Shand and Astrid Hartnell, who are getting to know the finer points each other styles having only just teamed up for the Sidecar TT.
Gordon’s regular passenger is out following an injury and Astrid – a front running competitor in the NZ National Sidecar Championship – was only asked to step in after arriving on the Island over the weekend. Only the paperwork from New Zealand stands between Astrid and being the first female passenger from New Zealand to compete at the TT.
From Astrid Hartnell
Hey guys thanks for all the support with the opportunity I have been offered to ride this years TT with Carl Cox sister team, Shand racing. I have looked into all aspects of me racing, but due to my existing wrist injury I hav been advised against it, so although its an amazing opportunity ive decided to just carry on spectating. It was an awesome to even get a test ride with one of the worlds best F2 teams!!!
The Chairs MAY? Get out first tomorrow after practise has been stopped again
Dags and Richie managed a 92mph lap which put them 39 out of 53 for the sessionOriginally Posted by TT Kiwis
...the epitome of our sport is pitting yourself against the Island and to lose that challenge in the ultimate way may seem strange to outsiders, but makes the whole thing so real, yet we carry on...RIP, Franck Petricola...the b.d ginga got away with it...cheers to that...
