Last night as you are probably aware, was a bit of a damp squib. The 125 and 250's got the first half of their session in the dry, cold and dull conditions. Then came the rain. It wasn't heavy to start with and not even covering the whole track, but it was heavy enough to mean that the riders' weren't able to improve on their lap times.

By the end of the evening clerk of the course Mervyn Whyte had to call a halt to proceedings, as conditions eventually got too wet and too dull to continue, and that meant the Supersport 600 riders didn't get to go out at all, which leads us to the question of where, or even if, riders who didn't qualify on Tuesday night will be placed on the grid.

You may say tough luck, if you didn't qualify... you can't race, but we're talking about people like Conor Cummins, John Burrows, Alistair Seeley and Michael Rutter amongst others and these are the guys who people are coming out to watch, so some special dispensation will have to be given. The next question is where exactly do you fit the guy who finished second in last years event, without upsetting people ??

I'm glad I'm not in Mervyn's shoes today !!!Ìý
