Ramsey basking in beautiful sunshine.

Typical Island weather, the North is fine and clear and the South is covered in threatening cloud.

Lougher goes today after his spill on Wednesday without any apparent injury.

The people at Ramsey hairpin are looking forward to seing Martin Finnegan again today as he has been the most exciting rider at the TT this year, with his antics of sliding into the corner on every approach.

Maria Costello goes in the Senior.

Anita Buxton also goes in the Senior.

John McGuinness is making a presentation to the Scouts of the 1st Ramsey troop, who help out at the Grandstand every year.
