My nw predictions.
Ryan will complain about something.
Michael will fall out with someone.
Next year there will be a chicane between station and university for safety reasons
It'll rain
Next year we'll all be back for more of the same.

Great idea Margaret, try Hector! Cheers

Can see Seeley winning a bunch of races on Saturday, would love to see Bruce/Cam/WD/Guy/Cummins get a few wins between them. Actually thats half the field

Pity MD is out of the S'twin, has he too much on his plate this season? Hope he can get things set up for the TT ok

Also havent read anything about Hutchys return, how did he go and how was he after practice?

Nice to see Cummins fancys his chances in the SBK, he must be feeling ok!

My prediction (on the basis that it is dry on Saturday) all races will get an extra sighting lap and two fewer racing laps than scheduled. This will seem particularly strange when the final race of the day is due to get underway at 4pm (long before roads re-open) and despite having plenty of time it too will suffer from having laps reduced.
Anyway, I have bags and car packed, alarm set for 6am, tomorrow and friday booked off work and cant wait to be buried in the hedge at the top of the link road on Sat morning waiting for the main day's racing to get underway.
Safe riding, spectating and marshalling to all involved. Here's hoping my cynicism of NW is proved to be wrong.....I doubt it. I'll probably come away from it like the last 3 or 4 years saying 'I wont be back'.
