Explained: Wind "harder", more dangerous, than damp spots at Isle of Man TT
Lee Johnston give🗹s his view on the conditions that caused the cancellation of the Isle of Man Senior TT.

Lee Johnston has explained the po🅰t🅘ential danger of windy conditions at the Isle of Man TT.
Working this year as part of the TT+ broadcast’s presenting team, Johnston was in t♚he paddock as the riders returned from thei﷽r inspection lap ahead of the Senior TT that was due to close the 2025 edition of the famous Manx road race on Saturday.
The general feedback from෴ riders was that the track surface was raceable, but the wi🌌nd was too strong in some areas of the track.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:When the cancellation was announced, the Isle of Man TT said that the wind had also changed direc🍌tion compared t﷽o the rest of the TT fortnight, which had added to the difficulty of the conditions.
Former Supersport TT race winner Johnston said that th😼e wind was more difficult to manage than damp patches on the track.
“The general sense is that the𓆉 wind is worse than whatever damp patches thereꦫ are,” Johnston said on the TT+ broadcast, moments before the cancellation was announced.
“It is honestly harder because♚ you can see the damp patches but the wind is another scenario.
“The issue is that it’s in a completely different direction for the past week and a half, so 🍰it’s a head scratcher.
“It’s worse at 🔯the bottom 🌟of the course which is not normal.
“Up at the top, at Wind𝓰y Corner, it is understandable to be there.
“But for Bray Hill to be windy and gusty through the gate pos🦂ts🍎 and houses? It is off-putting.
“These guys have been here a while and have a good understanding of the track, and the things you have to do to🐠 attack the track.”
