Isn't it GREAT to get up at 4AM to see the practice then to be told it is delayed because of a broken down vehicle at the 11th milestone !!!

I must say it was removed quickly and in a typical Manx dawn the practice got under way--

I was most impressed by the VQALMOTO team who were well presented--and represented-

Had a chat with Bruce Anstey, hoping that he does well this year !!

KEVIN MURPHY was out on a FAZER !!!

Good to be here !!
