Incidents and weather curtail Classic TT Qualifying session for Classic TT

by isleofman.com 27th August 2015

Wednesday evening's qualifying session for the 2015 Classic TT presented by Bennetts got away on time at 6.20pm with Michael Dunlop on his Team Classic Suzuki and Michael Rutter riding a replica of his father Tony's 84 World Championship F1 Ducati getting the session away.

Unfortunately two accidents near the 13th milestone early in the session resulted in the session being red flagged before the weather closed in and it was called off shortly after 7pm.

Michael Dunlop (114.29) and Dean Harrison on the Steelcote Solutions Kawasaki were the only riders to complete laps in excess of 110mph ahead of Russ Mountford on the Silicone Engineering Racing Kawasaki (109.72) and Michael Rutter (105.47). Michael Russell (Bragg Creek Powersports Honda), Timothee Monot (TMR Performances Moto Honda), Jamie Coward (Mistral Racing Kawasaki), Dan Stewart (Wilcock Racing Kawasaki) and Nick Jefferies (Team Classic Suzuki) were the only other riders to clock over 100mph.
