The bikes are on the grid for first race

Weather ain't great is it... It'll be interesting to see supertwins though.

vanpeebles · 13 May 2017 at 12:55

I dunno why they didn't send out the super twins for the second race on wet tyres.

icyshore · 13 May 2017 at 13:04

It might have had something to do with the oil spilt on the track

vanpeebles · 13 May 2017 at 13:07

Before the oil split. They seemed intent on running the superbikes even though the conditions were just not there for them.

icyshore · 13 May 2017 at 13:16

Ah ok, thought you ment the current delay.

vanpeebles · 13 May 2017 at 13:37

Sounding like a bit of a shambles now

IC3 · 13 May 2017 at 14:15

I hate the talking, would rather watch some replays of the best actions instead of 2 old blokes just rambling about random s...

I remember one year the weather was terrible and they just talked all day with Hutchy there too. Parrish is a legend though

vanpeebles · 13 May 2017 at 14:37

This will be delayed again because it's now drying too quick for a wet race.

IC3 · 13 May 2017 at 14:39

They should just let the riders and their teams decide, that way it'll be more interesting. If someone does take the risk and goes with slicks he could potentially have an advantage.

Saw it before

vanpeebles · 13 May 2017 at 16:23

Supertwin race was awesome!

IC3 · 13 May 2017 at 17:44

It dried out nicely, shame it rained. They couldn't use all those 200 horses on thous... :/

it's the same every year tbh. I'd love to go to the NW but all the while Mervin White is steering the ship I'll be staying away.

That said^^^^ The Superbike race was incredible, super thrilled for Glen Irwin
Two great wins for Martin Jessop too, top man
