Iomtt 2017

[T.W.R]

Here's the latest weather amended schedule.
https://www.iomtt.com/TT-Info/Qualif...-Schedule.aspx
Apparently there was a tree blown across the road in Laxey, the marshals hut at the bungalow got blown onto the road & multiple campsites were damaged.
Reeves & Wilkes found a fuel delivery problem with their outfit, so you can expect a bit more from them in their next appearance.

Pretty hectic schedule for today by the looks

The images on the BBC weather site from various points around the track looked pretty rough. The outlook currently for today looks to be somewhere near ideal....expecting 15deg & partial cloud and no rain expected till late evening

I see Deb Barron filled some undies out on the track....went chasing spectators at Ramsey could've been messy

Guy martin injured his wrist yesterday in the superbikes didn't compete in today's superstock

Superstock's tonight 11.45 our time. Hope the Lawrence boys are OK. There's a pic out there of them hitting Ballaugh Bridge! I think I picked up somewhere that they are fixing the bike and should be in the next race. So I guess they can't be too bad? The camera man in the pic got more than he bargained for! Hope he hit the button.

yeah I know I got Superstock & supersport around the wrong way just couldn't be fucked changing it

[manxkiwi]

Ha ha. No worries. I see it's changed again! Now 9.45 our time. Very good of them to do that for us!

Dealing with the logistics would be a nightmare for the organisers.

Going to be a pretty somber place though today.....Davey Lambert lost his battle with the injuries he sustained in the crash

Yeah that's no good. Always tragic when someone is lost. RIP.
I don't see any supersport 2 race in the revised schedule?

Been sacrificed & scuttled to fit everything else in unfortunately

Thought they might have run it on Thursday.

Thought they might have run it on Thursday.

Think it was meant to be run Thursday originally but apart from the disruption thats already had effect the weather expected for Thursday is looking like the crappiest dose for the whole week
Least it's clear and looking good for the day over there presently

Wonder how Bruce will go on the electrickery whizzer today ?

[manxkiwi]

Ah yes, good point. I just checked tomorrow's forecast and as you say it's crap to say the least! Bruce should start favourite, I think that university bike is pretty hot this year too. We'll see how that goes. Fingers crossed for a good and safe days racing.

[T.W.R]

The Mugen bike is pretty hot ....109.520 mph lap in qualifying dunno if I'd been keen on doing that on a 2 wheeled sewing machine

They also went upside down at Tower Bends & retired. All ok, just a bit of tidying up to do & they will be out for the next one.

[manxkiwi]

Crickey! They've had an eventful meeting so far. Good luck to them for a finish on Friday.
