Wow! What a great day... well, for sidecars anyway... I'm sorry to say I never saw any solo races. I was in the paddock area where there's nowhere decent to watch anyway.
Apart from the incredible bumps, the biggest drawback of Jurby Roads is the lack of places to watch.
However, I can guarantee you that the sidecar TTs this year will be epic battles.
Having seen how Tim Reeves took to real roads yesterday, he and Patrick will be a force to be reckoned with. Nick Crowe and Mark Cox......what can I say.... awesome, and then there's Dave Molyneux and Dan Sayle... not to mention Simon Neary, Steve Norbury, Andy Laidlow, John Holden and all the otheres who weren't here yesterday.
The meeting just get everyone in the TT mood, and later Ruth and I met up with Kenny Howles and Dougie Jewell, and had a few drinks in the Railway in Union Mills.... sorry, folks, I stayed at Ruthie's last night, hence no report!
This time next week...oh, boy, I can't wait!!!

Any photos Helen ?

The world sidecar passenger champion shows Ruth how it's done! A suspension check with Patrick Farrance.

A pair of TT rookies! (Well, Tim is, anyway)

The TT Travelling Marshals new bikes, with some soft focus miscreants behind

The infamous bumps at Jurby South don't seem to trouble these two. Nick Crowe and Mark Cox, clear winners yesterday

Pre-race tension. A group in the holding area.

Yeah right, Doug Jewell looked really tense...or was he sleeping?
