It was hit and miss if the TT would run or not because of the forecast of heavy rain. The organisers held firm, calling the Rain God's bluff, and got away with a damp night with a bit of headwind between Saintfield and Ballygowan.
Glen Pollock tried without success to beat Ironman McHenry (again) but neither of them noticed the new-and-improved Neville O'Neill sneak past to take the third spot. This could just be the confidence boosting result that O'Neill has been looking for!
A loose aero bar laid McManus's plans of glory to waste. Limping in at the end he was given plenty of mechanical solutions including double sided sticky tape and fast drying cement.
