Classic bikes out for first MGP practice last night

Wed, 22 Aug 2012

Dry roads and improved conditions meant the Classic Racers were finally able to record their first proper qualifying laps in the Manx Grand Prix practice session last night.

The Classics were first on the track and many of the riders were able to get two laps in before the modern classes went out on the course.

There were a few slight issues however with a significant oil spill at Kerrowmoar meaning Marshals had to display the white flags with red crosses.

TT stars Michael Dunlop and Ryan Farquhar both posted good times respectively as did Jamie Howard in the modern machines category.

Tonight’s session sees the modern machines revert to first qualifying slot at 18.20 with the Classics starting from 19.05.
