So, Tuesday night practice went well for most of the riders and teams, with only the one stoppage for one of the newcomers who crashed at Black Hill. Thankfully, Mervyn Whyte, the Clerk of the Course, tells us that the rider concerned is in a comfortable condition in hospital.

John McGuinness seemed very happy last night with his times as , seemingly without pushing it too much as the track was very dusty.

The Relentless Suzuki by TAS boys, Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, had a smooth running evening swapping between their Superbike and Superstock machines with only a few minor gearing changes. Steve Plater spent a bit of time in the pit lane while changes were made to his machine to suit the triangle circuit, and team-mate Ian Hutchinson failed to register a lap on his Supersport machine due to a fuel mapping glitch at the start of the session, gearing issues and then the red flag situation at Black Hill. Ryan Farquhar, Alistair Seeley and Stephen Thompson all hadÌýsolid sessions, settingÌýgood times for Saturday.

All is looking good for race day onÌýSaturday, but before that we have Thursday's practice and of course ourÌýFans Forum.

That's all from me on what is a fairly quiet day around the paddock, but it'll all heat up again tomorrow, so keep checking back here for news and opinions from myself and Phillip McCallen.
