Respite from the heavy rain developing, with drier and brighter weather soon moving in from the southwest and some breaks in the hill fog. From late afternoon into the evening, though, there is a risk that showers, possibly on the heavy side, will start to clip the island. The wind will be mainly moderate to fresh from the south or southwest with temperatures up to 18 Celsius at best. RE: Thursday Race Day -Delayed - Malcolm - 08-06-2017 Mid-Day Update

RE: Thursday Race Day - Cancelled - roger9650 - 09-06-2017 The fatalities this week have been awful and my sympathies go out to all family and friends. One question that should be asked, and may well appear at the inquests, is whether the riders have enough practice time? The counter argument is that the riders stay perfectly healthy when they're sat waiting around to go out and there must be a clear correlation between racing miles and injuries. I don't know but it is alarming to hear riders saying they had only two laps on the bike etc. |
