Heard the tragic news this morning about Neil Kent as we were travelling home last night, what a terrible loss for our beloved sport of road racing. Neil was a superb rider with a cheeky sense of humour and fun. He always had a smile and a wink for you when you saw him and was the consummate sportsman and his time served at the MGP in order to finally secure his much deserved victory was a testament to his determination and tenacity. The Manx GP will be a poorer place without him and that big personality of his. My thoughts go out to his family, his many friends on the Isle of Man and to his recent and former sponsors Dennis Trollope and Clive Padgett. A very sad day indeed, god bless you Kenty. Simon Tappin.

Good Luck Gavin Lupton, Derek Quinn & Gang! Some cracking practice times, the hard work is paying off – be safe & keep it going! Phillippa

Good luck Stuart Osborne. You are looking good so just keep going and enjoy yourself. All the best Chris from the 11th.

Stuart Hall, good look and enjoy yourself, looks like you are, going great. George Willingham.

Walo Bertschinger: Wir gratulieren zu Deiner Quali. Gib weiter Dein Bestes und pass auf Dich auf Grüessli Kari und Christine

Glen Walker.... Well done on practice races, keep her between the hedges and ride safely...from your Co.Down supporters, Nic, Adam,Katie & AJ x

Anthony Redmond: Have a great Manx, and hope you got the fisfire sorted - we thought 108mph in practice was a bit relaxed for you! All the best to you and the rest of the guys and gals cheers Ade & Helen

May I wish my Scottish friends in the Classic racing 250 Suzuki Ewan Hamilton , Adam Easton, Nortons 350 &500 & new grandad Wattie Brown on his 500 Petty Manx. After much endeavour I have a strong feeling that 2011 just could be Wattie's opportunity to get on that top spot of the podium. Safe racing to all competitors & favourable weather for the festival. Many thanks to all the patient marshalls without whom there just couldnt be any racing. Best regards to all from, Joe Spence, Kells Emerald Isle

Good luck Glen Walker!! Moving up in practice 8th to 5th, keep it pinned!!! Adam K
