sidecar delay - BBC - 26-05-2008
Don't they get the rubbish treament, think the organiser's should alternate the practice sessions giving everyone a fair crack of the whip.
I know that will not happen got to keep the big teams happy ehh, Its about the privateer's formed a union and get their voice's heard.

The Police have kept the road closed between Crosby and Ballacraine following the accident at Goarslea during practice
RE: sidecar delay - FC - 26-05-2008
Manx Radio have reported that James McBride came off at Goarslea and has been airmeded to Hospital with what has been described as Major Fractures. The road has been kept closed for the time being.
Fingers crossed that James makes a full recovery, my thoughts are with him at this time, hell of a nice bloke.
RE: sidecar delay - alf885 - 26-05-2008
Hoping for a swift recovery for James.
RE: sidecar delay - Helena Finnegan - 26-05-2008
Let's hope that James makes a full and quick recovery.
Prayers are with him, his family and the team.

Definately we need something and have a voice and not been down trodden, the big wigs wouldn't stand for it .
RE: sidecar delay - DCLUCIE - 26-05-2008
Just for info, the delay is always going to be like that when there are familiarization laps for new comers. This extends the delay for the teams. Unfortunate but I respect this for safety reasons. Hopefully after they have done a few laps they should be let loose on their own so all the teams can get out together and get a fair crack of the whip. Just think how hard and unfair it is on poor Hanksie as he has to show them round at a slower pace. He lost a full lap tonight due to the delay. But at least it was for a good reason and don't forget the sidecars can not get pre-tt experience at the Manx. If they did it the other way around I think the practice sessions might be cut shorter as the solo's travel faster and, I don't know for definite maybe someone can confirm this, but they may need a lighter environment to be safer. Also having a split session, solo's, sidecars, solo's would mean riders not able to change machines often enough to qualify all their bikes. its easier and also safer to get them all done in one complete session. I know its crappy on the sidecar guys, I used to be one and felt exactly the same way, until I got involved behind the scene's a bit more.
Hope James is ok soon as he is really a very nice bloke. First met him at the Southern, always stayed round to talk for a while. Get well soon mate.
