By Despite the best efforts of the event organisers, high winds, mist on the Mountain section of the Mountain Course, has put pay to any chance of practice action this evening at TT 2019.
Prior to practice cancellation, there was various racing insiders stating that racers could complete short laps tonight, going over the Mountain in a speed controlled fashion behind a travelling marshal.
Unfortunately this didn’t happen, and you’ve got to feel sorry for TT Clerk of The Course Gary Thompson MBE BEM, who is giving it everything in pursuit of racers gaining much needed track time.
