The weather at the Island has never been anything like what might be forecast the day before, at least not on my visits there to watch and race.

Always take clothes for the four seasons , you have been warned!

Last year Saturday was stinking hot and not much wind. Sunday was cold blowing and raining. Clearing for the MotoGP itself.

Four seasons in a weekend everytime!
