As I sit at home waiting for my nightly dose of ITV4's TT coverage I can hear the distant roar of bikes as they climb Ago's. I should probably get out rather than watch from the comfort of my recliner.
It's been a slow start to practice week with the weather putting paid to timed laps until tonight. The untimely death of Yoshinari Matsushita during Monday evening's session did nothing to lift the atmosphere. From the many comments posted online, a genuinely popular guy in the paddock who will be truly missed
The weather is set to hold steady for the next few days so hopefully Friday's final practice session and the next day's Superbike and sidecar races can get away on time. I'm also hoping the weather stays fine for tomorrow as it's the works TT BBQ. Due to belt tightening the event is no longer free these days but I shall try to extract value for the money from it. Brews and a view that can't be bought. Not a bad life.
I won't give a list of runner and riders and I'm certainly no expert on this but I am looking forward to seeing how new comer Josh Brookes gets on with his Tyco Suzuki and Gary Johnson on a MV Agusta in the Supersport races. I bumped into Gary a few years ago in a late night drinking establishment and a suggestion of "Meat on a Stick" racing was made as a homage to food served at the Laguna Seca track in California. He never got back to me.
I've been out and about over the last few days and taken a few snaps which I'll share below
All I need now is a dodgy burger and to hear Golden Earring's Radar Love and I'm good.
