And On Friday, They Rested...
Friday isÌýa day of rest for the riders, a chance to relax and prepare for the big day on Saturday. There was good news and bad news on one of the race favourites, Stevie Plater, after his crash near the end of Thursday practice.
The bad news is that he is definitely out of the racing tomorrow, but the good news is that it is thankfully not much more than that after an horrific fast cornerÌýincident in the final qualifying session which saw Steve end up through the fencing and down the banking on the coast side of the road atÌýQuarry HillÌýin a 100mph accident.
On a lighter note,Ìýa birthday bash for the legendary Albert Kirk (a UTV cameraman much loved by everyone up here)Ìýwas a huge success at Joey's Bar in Ballymoney last night, with even Stephen Watson getting up for a song on the karaoke.
He ended up wimping out early though, claiming that he had a load of work to do today, so it was left to the rest of us to party away into the wee small hours of the night / morning. Thank goodness that today is a day of rest for the riders!!
