Por cierto, la vuelta de Brookes en los entrenos de ayer, de 114.6 mph, lo han convertido en el newcomer más rápido del TT

Crónica completa de los entrenamientos del sábado:


Saturday 25th May 2013
Dunlop and Molyneux/Farrance set the pace in opening Isle of Man TT qualifying session
- Newcomers Brookes and Srdanov quickly up to speed in first TT laps
Perfect conditions greeted competitors as the 2013 Isle of Man TT Races, fuelled by Monster Energy, got underway with bright sun, light winds and dry roads all around the 37 and ¾-mile course.

The newcomers were given their speed controlled lap under the guidance of rider liaison officer Richard Quayle who left the line first closely followed by Josh Brookes, Jonathan Howarth and Gavin Hunt. John McGuinness led Derek Sheils, Horst Saiger and Branko Srdanov, Bruce Anstey escorted Steven Michels and Raphael Paschaolin with Keith Amor showing Sam Wilson, AJ Venter and Denis Bouan the way round. Last to leave the line was John Barton with Petre Pop and Juha Kallio in tow but machine problems with his Aprilia meant Cheung Wai On failed to start the lap.

All went to plan except for Milky Quayle suffering a puncture on the Mountain Mile, which led to McGuinness having approximately eight riders in his wheel tracks!

At 6.50pm it was the turn of the first official session, for Lightweight machines, and the field was led away by Michael Dunlop and Ben Wylie, followed in turn by the returning Chris Palmer and Russ Mountford, Ivan Lintin and James Hillier, and Gary Johnson and Dean Harrison. Expected front-runners Michael Rutter, Conor Cummins, Jamie Hamilton and Cameron Donald were also well to the fore taking full advantage of the perfect weather.

Dunlop was first to complete at 111.85mph swiftly followed by Hillier, Lintin, Palmer, Mountford and Harrison whilst Donald went second fastest at 111.23mph. Hillier, Lintin, Harrison and Cummins also broke the 110mph barrier whilst Johnson, having his first outing on the Chinese WK machine lapped at a more than respectable 107.33 before pulling in to make gearing and suspension changes.

The newcomers were also back out, keen to get in as many laps as possible and Saiger and Howarth were quickest at over 104mph although Brookes’ transponder wasn’t working so no official time was recorded as he pulled in. Meanwhile, Sheils, although not a newcomer having competed in the 2009 Manx Grand Prix, lapped at 112.44mph.

Second time around and Dunlop improved to 113.56, which would prove to be the quickest of the session, with Rutter up to 113.10, Cummins 112.59, Lintin 112.42 and Hillier 112.04. The newcomers were also rapidly getting to grips with the course, Srdanov impressing at 112.47 with Howarth up to 109.26 and Saiger 108.79. Equally impressive was 600cc-mounted Wilson at 108.39.

Most riders continued for three laps but only a small number improved, Lintin one of them moving second quickest at 113.42 and Harrison going slightly quicker with a lap of 112.10. Srdanov went faster still with a lap of 113.80mph, briefly becoming the quickest newcomer ever on an opening night in the process but that was only before Brookes’ official times were released and his fastest was an impressive 114.620.

At 7.50pm, it was the turn of the sidecars and, with the debutants having their controlled lap immediately after the solos, Dave Molyneux/Patrick Farrance, Tim Reeves/Dan Sayle led away from John Holden/Andy Winkle, Ben/Tom Birchall, Conrad Harrison/Mike Aylott and Gary Bryan/Jamie Winn.

First back were Molyneux/Farrance at 108.59 but hot on their heels were Holden/Winkle and they were quickest at 110.01 whilst the Birchalls completed their lap at 105.55. Quicker still though were Bryan/Winn on 108.14 and Harrison/Aylott at 107.93. Reeves/Sayle had a relatively slow lap at 101.09 as the late night sun began to sink lower in the sky whilst the Manx flies were also out in force.

Molyneux/Farrance upped their pace on their second circuit to 111.28 to top the leaderboard with Harrison/Aylott moving up on the leaderboard with a speed of 109.96.

Monday will see the first full qualifying session for Superbike, Supersport and Superstock classes with the Superbike, Superstock and Supersport session underway at 18.20 and the Sidecars at 20.00

Aqui subo un plano indicando el trazado habitual del TT, y el Clypse tambien para que os ubiqueis.
Y buscando mapas y cosas he visto uno de la altitud del circuito, y solo indicar que desde Parliament Square (Ramsey, milla 24) hasta Joey's (milla 26) se pasa de nivel del mar a 1.000 pies (333 metros), es decir que en 3.2 Km se suben 300 metros, o un desnivel medio del 10% ... de ahi que se le llame el circuito de la montaña ... el punto mas alto es Hailwood Heights (nada mas pasar Bungalow con 1.400 pies o 426 metros)



Voy a intentar subir un link a un plano con la mayoria de las curvas con su nombre, que siempre viene bien saber donde esta Barregarrow o Hillberry o el mitico Creg-Ny-Baa

Sea como sea, hay que remover por el amplio y maravilloso mundo del internet para conseguir ese video.

!!!Misterio resuelto!!!  ( y perdón por el "off topic")

Como comentaba, la presencia de James May no tiene que ver con el famoso programa Top Gear, sino con otro de sus shows: "James May´s Toy Stories". En este programa (que lleva ya varias temporadas) se dedica junto a su equipo a realizar proezas con juguetes:

Una casa a tamaño real con Lego


El antiguo circuito de Brooklands recreado in situ con Scalextric


Etc...Etc...

Y bien...qué tiene que ver un programa de juguetes con el TT? Bueno, pues en esta entrevista (ojito, el audio no es ninguna maravilla) May explica por qué estaba en Man (a partir del min. 1:15)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lrNHe2FCHUE#!

Quieren ser los primeros en completar una vuelta al circuito del TT con un sidecar artesanal...de Meccano!

Eso sí, tocará esperar...hasta las próximas navidades no veremos nada 

Y Antonio Maeso, a través de su Facebook, ha comentado lo siguiente:

Antonio Maeso Fans club

Ya sabéis que James May, el famoso presentador estrella del programa Top Gear entrevistó a Antonio poco antes del entreno en Lightweight. Se interesó mucho por los nombres en la bandera de España en el carenado con la aportación de los aficionados y.... no dudó en sacar un billete de 10 libras....Pero la aportación mayor será ver a nuestro piloto en un programa de difusión mundial

[Eretakuk]

Al parecer Maeso ha roto.

La Kawa Lightweight de Maeso ya está reparada!

Abrieron motor y descubrieron que había sido cosa de un pistón...



Aquí reparando el motor...



Y los efectos del pistonazo en la bujía...

Accidente en Ballacrie, bandera roja. Ojalá no haya sido nada.

[Daiyiro]

Se cancelan todos los entrenamientos de hoy despúes de la bandera roja.

En esta web tenemos webcams para seguir el TT:

Aunque de momento las únicas que me funcionan son las de Glen Vine y Kirk Michael.
