    Heehee, I just had to larf when I read this about Thursday night sidecar practice:

    "The chairs’ session came to an end at 7.45pm but a delay due to oil being dropped between Kirk Michael and Alpine meant it the session was ultimately abandoned leaving just one session remaining before the opening Superbike race on Saturday."



    Sorry, couldn't resist.....as you were............

    Early Finish For Relentless International North West 200 21/05/2011

    Racing was abandoned early at today’s Relentless International North West 200 as a result of a major oil spill from a competitor’s bike. The spillage, which resulted from a mechanical issue, started at Church Corner and extended to Juniper Hill. After lengthy and exhaustive attempts to clean the area and following close examination by race officials and a competitor it was decided that despite the cleanup operation the road was still in a hazardous condition. As always the safety of the riders is the key priority and the race stewards after receiving all the information had no alternative but to stop racing for the day.

    By Phil Wain on the Isle of Man (pinched from Bike Sport News)

    Former World Sidecar Champion Klaus Klaffenbock and passenger Dan Sayle made it three TT Sidecar wins in a row when they took victory in the opening Sure Sidecar A race by ten seconds from John Holden and Andy Winkle. T

    The Austrian/Manx pairing took the lead at Glen Helen on the opening lap and were never headed, catching Holden on the road and circulating together in high speed formation. Lapping at just under 115mph, the pairing were well clear of the rest of the field with Conrad Harrison and Mike Aylott overhauling Tim Reeves and Gregory Cluze on the final lap for third.

    By the end of the first lap, Klaffenbock was leading both on time and on the road, his advantage at 11 seconds whilst Reeves was some 3.5 seconds ahead of Harrison. Having taken the lead on the road, former World Champion Klaffenbock could afford to sit with Holden for the rest of the race and on the second lap the duo treated to the fans to a high speed duel on the roads as they swapped positions on a number of occasions.

    The lead was always around the 10 second mark for Klaffenbock and his second lap was 114.798mph although Holden was slightly quicker at 114.861mph, the gap now exactly ten seconds as they lapped nose to tail. Reeves was seemingly in control of third, his advantage over Harrison now six seconds.

    Klaffenbock and Holden were secure in first and second with Reeves some 44 seconds back but he was now coming under serious pressure from Harrison, later attributed to a sticking throttle. At Ballaugh, the gap was down to 1.6s and by Ramsey, Harrison had seized control of the final podium spot, now some 3 seconds clear.

    Klaffenbock and Holden crossed the line almost together to secure first and second whilst Harrison crossed the line in third for his second TT podium, and passenger Aylott’s first, with Reeves a despondent fourth. Elmer and Bryan were fifth and sixth throughout to again secure strong finishes whilst the Birchalls enjoyed a strong drive on their return in seventh.

    John McGuinness won his 16th TT today when he took victory in the Dainese Superbike race at the Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy.

    The Honda TT Legends rider overcame an early challenge from Bruce Anstey and a strong pit stop at the end of lap 2 saw him reassert himself. When the Kiwi went out at Quarry Bends, John was already 20 seconds clear of the field. With Guy Martin retiring on lap 5, McGuinness’ eventual winning margin was almost a minute over Cameron Donald who came through to take 2nd, some 10 seconds clear of Gary Johnson who took third despite suffering a 30-second penalty for infringing the pit lane speed limit.

    Isn't it always an electrical fault

    You mean the old Honda one where after throwing a blanket over the remains they try to avoid telling you a conrod knocked the alternator off on it's way to kingdom come. Do they still use that excuse?

    Relief ! A great win in the re-started supersport TT for the 43 yr-old Anstey, due a break after some pretty shitty luck over the last couple of years. Nice one !

    considering he was down in 7th then sixth in the first start of this race it's a better bonus too.
    congratulations Bruce

    Brilliant Win for a Bloody Legend.

    Congrats to Bruce for another fantastic win at the toughest track in the world. Now if anyone has a link to his onboard I would love to watch a lap?
