Starting to rain near Signpost..... Only a few spots but darker cloud moving in

Looks like rain holding off for now

Anyone know what happened to Dan Cooper?

excellent updates Malcolm! Very much appreciated!

Taking only into account what I would call "proper" Manx Grand Prix competitors, I reckon Jamie Coward won that, with everyone behind him 


moving up three places. Excellent ride, Jamie!!
