skyrider Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) tonight's practice has been cancelled because of the weather (rain) and tomorrow night is not looking any better Edited August 21, 2019 by skyrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxie49 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yep, just looking out of the window now, mountain is sucked in with fog and rain forecast, can't believe it's the middle of practice week and still no racing Looks like its off to the pub again with a couple of mates who are over for the week Possibility of an afternoon practice session tomorrow, I won't hold my breath though.

skyrider Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 yes hope they will get a few laps in before weekend, michael dunlop is supposed to be arriving today to decide if he is going to race or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxie49 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 They're hoping to do a couple of qualifying laps this afternoon, roads closing at 12:30, not looking good though, rain and mountain is still foggy, helicopter won't be able to fly so that will put pays to that. Forecast says it should be clearing up so keeping my fingers crossed for this evenings practice. Just came home via the grandstand this morning, really quiet up there, not like MGP (FOM) at all.

manxie49 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 they are on their way with the evening practice in the rain This is the problem, I know they only did one lap but it seems like the organisers get desperate to get some racing in and make stupid decisions, I came home via Glen Helen, into Ramsey then over the mountain, the roads were absolutely crap, I don't think it was a wise decision to even do one lap! See how today goes, roads close at 12:30 just looking at the mountain and its thick with fog again, helicopter has just had to pick its way down the coast to Ramsey because it can't go over the top ....

manxie49 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 keep your eye on a lad called james hind one to watch in the future and only 19 too Definitely an ace of the mountain course for the future, reminded me a lot of Robert Dunlop in his riding style, very precise and in control, from what I seen he was a pleasure to watchhttps://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-sport/hind-blitzes-field-to-take-lightweight-mgp-victory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
