Wednesday night's practice was run in near-perfect conditions but featured a bumper number of incidents, one of which proved fatal. A total of 13 riders suffered falls, with an injury to a marshal at Ballacraine also reported. Thankfully she is o.k. and will be fit to continue duties tonight. Spilt oil caused Stuart Noon to fall at Quarterbridge, but he is likely to be discharged from hospital later today. Of the other incidents, TT sidecar driver Glyn Jones fell off at the Mountain Box with no injuries, and Classic specialist Tony Myers dropped it at the Gooseneck (in front of yours truly) after coming in too fast. Happily he was also ok. For a full list of incidents, see iommgp.com.Time-wise, most riders now appear to be in the groove and achieving the sort of lap speeds we will be expecting in the races. Top of the pile in the Senior was Kenny McCrea with a time of 19m 17.78s, 117.318 mph. Second and third were Ian Pattinson and Seamus Greene, with times of 19.23.80 and 19.33.10 respectively. The fastest lap of the week so far in this class is 19.15.32, set by Alan Jackson on Monday night.
