Thursday practice
Hi folks,
Well, it's Thursday and the weather is great again, so some super fast lap speeds should be achieved tonight. After a day off yesterday the riders will be floating about the pits making a few alterations to their machines that they hope will make the difference to them being on pole or the second or third row of the grid.
The good weather has also brought the fans out in their droves, the paddock is completely packed with people hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes and their machines, get a few autographs and maybe a souvenier or two.
Last night, I was involved in the Fans Forum on ´óÏó´«Ã½i. It went very well and we got loads of emails and texts from all over the world, far too many to get them all answered unfortunately. But keep sending them in and hopefully tonight we'll be able to get through a few more and, you never know, one of them might even be yours!

I enjoyed the coverage on ´óÏó´«Ã½i on Wednesday (thanks!) and am eagerly anticipating the race on Saturday - I'll be leaving work early to make sure I catch it!
I was devastated to hear the news this morning regarding Robert Dunlop. Even though I'm not familiar with the name, my thoughts are with his family.
