Biker carried on riding despite leaking machine
The Clerk of the Course has appealed for fans to pull off the road if there's a problem with their motorbike.
Today's practice and race schedule had to be delayed by 25 minutes following an oil leak on the Mountain Road.
The marshals reported the rider initially pulled in at Windy Corner before carrying on, resulting in a sweeper being needed to clean the road before the action could get underway.
Gary Thompson says it's disappointing to lose time:
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Police issue warning to parents over 'harmful' group chats
Local food van 'disappointed' not to be visiting Castletown after offering 42 dates
Search launched after emergency beacon signal activated
