Well, that was an entertaining way to spend an evening. I should look at this road racing more often.
Am I correct that the racing resumes on Saturday?

William Dunlop will not take part in Saturdays racing following a highsider at Church Corner during the Superstock race yesterday. William reportedly suffered heavy back bruises but nothing is broken.

Great run of Joey Thompson. 20 years old but held them off until the chicane.

I must say that both Supersport and Superbike races leave me rather unimpressed this year. As mentioned above it looked like both Seeley and Irwin had another gear left.

Otherwise, there been quite some interesting Superstock and Supertwin races.
