Lee Johnston has explained the potential danger of windy condi🀅tions at the Isle of Man T♏T.

Working this year as part of the TT+ broadcast’s presenting team, Johnston was in the paddock as the riders returned from their inspection lap ahead of the Senior TT thꦿat 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 t⛦he wind was too strong in some areas of the track.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Whe✱n t꧙he cancellation was announced, the Isle of Mꩲan TT said that the wind had also changed direction compared to the rest of the TT fortnight, which had added to the difficulty of the conditions.

Former Supersport TT race winner Johnston said that the wind was more difficult to manage than damp patches on the tr𓂃ack.

“The general sense is that the wind is worse than w🥂hate🐓ver damp patches there are,” Johnston said on the TT+ broadcast, moments before the cancellation was announced.

“It i🍰s honestly harder because you can see the damp patches but the wind 🍨is another scenario.

“The issue is that it’s in a c🐬ompletely different direction for the past week and a half, so it’s a head scratcher.

“It’s worse at the bottom of the cours♓🅰e which is not normal.

“Up at the top, at Windy Corner, i🔜t is understandable to b𒈔e there.

“But for Bray Hill to be windy and gusty through the gate posts 𒆙and 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.”
