MGP 2010 - Update One (24 Aug 10)

It was off to the Isle of Man for the Manx Grand Prix next for Davy Morgan Racing and a busy fortnight with outings on the CSC Branson 350cc & 560cc Honda's, Rick Abbotts 1045cc Kawasaki and the Mannmade sponsored 250cc Honda.

First practice was on Saturday and in less than favourable conditions the first bike to Glencutchery Road was the 560cc CSC Branson Honda and things were going well until it blew the engine on the mountain mile and with not being able to get back that was the night over and a cold wait until after practice.

Nexrt practice was monday and again conditions were not great and it was the start of the timed sessions and it was the Rick Abbott prepared Post Classic Kawasaki that Davy set off on down Bray Hill, unfortunately there was more dissappointment as it wrecked itself and a retirement at Grebba,

With two nights gone and no bikes qualified, Tuesday was an important night for the team and it all went well. First up was the 350cc CSC Branson Honda in the Junior Classic Class and this time Davy managed to get around to complete a lap at 90.745mph and more importantly get a bike qualified. It was straight of the 350cc Honda and out on the 560cc CSC Branson Honda and again it was to be another solid run with a lap at 88.990mph. So two bikes qualified and solid nights work by everyone involved.

Speaking on Tuesday night Davy commented, "A satisfying nights work, the fortnight certainly did not start well and we really needed to get bikes qualified tonight to take the pressure off a bit. The wee honda's were going well, but i was not pushing too hard as i needed to get them round. I don't know what is going to happen with the Kawasaki as it wrecked itself big time on Monday and Rick is working hard to get it sorted. If the conditions are good tomorrow we will get a run on the 250cc Honda and see how it goes from there."
