The roads are closed. The weather looks pretty good for the race, with Ronaldsway reporting -
"Dry and bright with variable cloud, sunny spells and a slowly freshening North West to Northerly breeze. Temperatures rising to 14 or 15 Celsius at best, around 58F. It’ll turn generally cloudy by late afternoon & then a little rain could develop this evening, but more so during the night".
So it looks as if we could have a good days racing ahead of us.
