TT 2015 underway; pensioner Ted tastes Billown victory
The weather closed in on Saturday night to curtail the first practice session of TT 2015.

James Hillier was quickest through the Sulby speed trap at 156mph.
With rain beginning to fall around various parts around the course, the session was ended early and the F2 Sidecars will have to wait until Monday evening to get their first laps in.
Earlier, Mike Hose won the opening Blackfords pre-TT Classic event, coming home ahead of Mark Herbertson and Bill Swallow in the 350cc class at Billown.
Tim Glover saw him cross the line:
At the ripe old age of 87, Ted Fenwick won the 250cc race from Rod Graham and Henry Bell.
