COMPETITORS BEGIN QUALIFYING AT 2011 ISLE OF MAN TT RACES
Qualifying for the 2011 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy got underway on Monday evening and although conditions were far from ideal, both the solos and sidecars were able to get in two laps although the solo’s had begun a third lap when the session was red flagged early due to heavy rain on the Mountain.
Sunshine during the day gave way to cloud by the time the roads were closed and although Douglas remained dry, roads around the course were damp with Glen Helen to Ramsey the main section affected.
In a break from the usual schedule, the sidecars were out first on the course to give the solo riders who had been competing at the Thruxton BSB round, which included Michael Rutter, Dan Kneen, James Hillier and Ian Lougher, time to make it to the Island for the session.
So, at 6.29pm TT2011 was up and running and once Roy Hanks, John Holden, Tony Baker and Greg Lambert had taken the large batch of sidecar newcomers around for their sighting lap, the session commenced with Simon Neary/Jason Crowe, Klaus Klaffenbock/Daniel Sayle, Tim Reeves/Gregory Cluze, Conrad Harrison//Mike Aylott and Tony Elmer/Darren Marshall the first crews to leave the line.
The damp conditions could clearly be seen in the opening lap times with Klaffenbock quickest at 107.407mph followed by Neary at 106.971mph and Elmer at 103.234mph. Second time around and road conditions improved slightly allowing Klaffenbock to move up to 110.911mph and Elmer to 106.977mph. Reeves was quicker too at 105.576mph despite hitting a pheasant at Kerromoar but Neary was in trouble though, losing passenger Crowe at Ramsey whilst Roy Hanks, Greg Lambert and Gordon Shand were all early retirements.
At 7.30pm, the solos were out on the course and rider liaison officers John Barton and Richard Quayle escorted Simon Andrews, Dean Harrison, Daniel Hegarty, PiotrBetlej, Robert Wilson and Lee Vernon for their sighting lap before the main contenders got their first taste of the Mountain Course this year.
It was Michael Dunlop and Guy Martin who got the session underway at 7.50pm, the Northern Irishman out on his Superstock machine and the Lincolnshire man opting for his Superbike. Following them were Bruce Anstey, Adrian Archibald, Paul Owen, Ian Mackman, Luis Carreira and Ryan Farquhar, the latter having his first outing on his new Superbike mount.
Meanwhile Honda team-mates John McGuinness and Keith Amor were two of the last to leave the line with Michael Rutter only getting as far as the end of pitlane before returning back to the paddock on his Ducati Superstock bike. The BSB star had earlier received a medical as soon as he reached the paddock after his spill at Thruxton earlier in the day.
Martin was the first to complete a lap at 121.380mph with Dunlop and Anstey not too far behind at 119.820mph and 118.793mph respectively, the relatively low speeds indication of the damp roads. However, the quickest man on the opening lap was Gary Johnson who took the East Coast Racing Honda round at 122.463mph whilst equally impressive, given the events of 2010, was Conor Cummins’ first lap of 116.063mph on the McAdoo Racing Superstock Kawasaki.
Second time around and McGuinness and Amor, who spent the first two laps circulating in close formation, moved to the top of the early Superbike leaderboard with laps of 122.838mph and 122.637mph with Anstey sandwiching the pair on his Superstock at 122.752mph but Martin was in trouble, pushing in to the top of pitlane. Dunlop, who swapped his Superstock bike for his Superbike machine was also in trouble, pulling off the course at Crosby and making his way back to the paddock via the back roads.
Luis Carreira was the quickest 600 at 117.612mph just ahead of Kneen whilst Poland’s Betlej was the best of the newcomers at an impressive 107.206mph on his Honda Superstock with Wilson and Harrison at 103.659 and 103.394mph.

Hello Tugabikers,

I'm sorry for the delay in posting some pictures from the first night of practice. We went to Stella Maris, which is a fast right hand bend just before Ramsey Hairpin.

Weather for the first practice was not great, with some rain, which eventually brought the session to an early finish.

You'll already have seen that Luis Carreira was quickest on the 600cc bike!

I'll post some pictures from Tuesday night soon!

Great shots Juan thanks

Juan, Derek, Mac, Beany, Gaffney, Reilly, Dave, Ian i´m very sorry but you guys have to have me again there, hope your Portugueses is better this year.


Great photos as always mate

how is the weather? can i bring shorts??

Oh no. Not again....

Of course you can bring shorts.... they are quicker to dry after you get caught in the rain!

The weather today is dry but cold and windy, but Derek assures me that there is high pressure on the way which means good weather for racing next week.

John McGuinness again sets the pace at the 2011 Isle of Man TT Races
A dry, sunny evening met the competitors for Tuesday evening’s qualifying session and, apart from a stiff a breeze, conditions were almost perfect for the second night of the 2011 Isle of Man TT Races fuelled by Monster Energy.
After a 10-minute delay, the riders were out at 6.30pm and Michael Dunlop and Guy Martin who, as on Monday, were the first to leave the line, Martin on the Superbike and Dunlop on the Supersport machine. Cameron Donald and Gary Johnson were the next pairing to go, swiftly followed by Ryan Farquhar, Bruce Anstey, Keith Amor and Dan Stewart. All were Superbike mounted as was Adrian Archibald out for the first time on a brand new ZX-10R Kawasaki. Fifteen time race winner John McGuinness was in the 8th pairing away.
Meanwhile, Frenchman Guillame Dietrich left at the back of the field in order to complete his sighting lap with Richard Quayle, the Relentless by TAS Suzuki rider having tipped off at Sulby during Monday evening’s qualifying.
Johnson was the first man back at 127.71mph just ahead of Martin at 126.325mph, followed by Donald at 125.05 and Anstey at 126.24. Amor and Stewart were slightly slower at 125.9mph and 125.8mph whilst McGuinness moved up to second quickest on 126.975mph.
Meanwhile, Dunlop was the fastest 600 with a lap of 123.59mph followed by James Hillier on 118.415mph and Luis Carreira on 118.402. Conor Cummins was also improving steadily, breaking the 120mph at 120.203mph. McGuinness clocked the quickest time through the Sulby speed trap at 190.6mph
Johnson pulled in and switched to his 600 with Donald doing likewise to the Superstock bike but many of the other riders went straight through, keen to get two early laps in on the Superbike. Martin increased his speed to 128.261mph but McGuinness followed him in at 129.041mph. Dunlop increased his 600cc lap speed to 125.464mph with both Hillier and Carreira in the 119mph bracket but Davy Morgan stopped at the Mountain Box, Conor Cummins at Greeba Castle and Michael Rutter at Quarter Bridge although the latter was able to proceed.
Donald briefly went quickest in the Superstock class with a lap of 124.447mph as McGuinness reported track conditions to be good except for a slightly dusty road at Ramsey. His only concern was leathers that were too tight but he was soon back out on the circuit, this time on his Padgetts Superstock Honda.
Impressive laps were also being put in by some of the newcomers with Simon Andrews at 116.26, Piotr Betlej at 113.58, Dean Harrison at 112.58mph and Robert Wilson at 111.112. Michael Dunlop then topped the Superstock class with a lap at 126.26mph whilst Johnson went quickest through the speed trap at 192.3mph. Rutter’s adjustments also paid dividends as he put in a lap of 124.143mph but Farquhar was out at Kerromoar.
Most of the main contenders were able to complete 5 laps during the session with Donald putting in a late flyer of 128.08mph on his Superbike.

Ok, here are a couple from tonight.....
