No Maria Costello in the race- she has withdrawn from the Superbikes and Stocker classes.

William Dunlop - running the stocker in todays race.

Gary Johnson - Tried the new shocker last night and while there are still a few bits and bobs it's still the best bike I've ridden. "If the bike is still running at the finish, I'll be in the mix"

Ian Mackman - "I've had a good week, although I had a slow puncture last night coming over the mountain."

Ian Pattinson - "This BMW is awesome, 196bhp on the dyno, it's so quick."

Mark Miller - "The tank on the Aprilia is too small and we cannot do two consecutive laps, so we are going to have to refuel after every lap."

Ian Lougher - "Not sure how many TT's I've done now. I'm running two Stockers, and the one for the Superbike has a quick change swing arm on it."

Conor - " Cheers for everyones support. Should have gone sunbathing today instead, the weathers so good !!!"
