Now reduced to a 3 lap race
Expected to start at 12:40
Cameron Donald moves up to 4
No one at 16 in memory of Derek Brien
Johnny Barton a non-starter
Riders are having a mini-meeting and they DO NOT want to go out in these conditions.
Keith Amor
We're on Dunlops and these new tyres are not designed to run in the wet.
John McGuinness
Mixed reports from the travelling marshalls. " It's Patchy after Ginger Hall, Patchy up through to the Water Works,
so what do you do, we want to put on a show, but safety has to be the priority.
I thought we had an agreement that we wouldn't race in the wet !!!!"
Bruce Anstey
I'll go with whatever John says
Board says - Damp patches all round and flags will be shown where appropriate.
McGuinness doesn't want to put his lid on, ok, so he is putting it on now.
Amor looks unsure and looks across to McGuinness with a shake of the head.
McGuinness comes to the line looking very unhappy.

Raining at various locations around the circuit with standing water at Glen Helen and the Gooseneck reported.
