Rob wasn’t too happy during the first untimed session on Saturday as the bikes suspension where to hard. After a conversation with Andy White of KAIS performance about what to do with the suspension, Rob made some major change to both bike on Andy’s advice for Monday nights first qualifying.
Rob first went out on the Dave Cottrell Suzuki GSXR 1000 as he was keen to get as many laps as possible on this bike as he has no experience on a 1000 at the TT. Rob was really pleased with the changed made and did 113mph lap from a standing start and bedding new brake pads in. On his second lap he did 115.5mph lap his quickest ever lap of the TT.
Next he was out on the Robinsons of Rochdale Triumph Daytona 675, again he’s was please with the changes made and was impress how much better the bike was to last years. From a standing start Rob did 110mph and on his second did 111.1mph. These times are enough for him to qualify for all his races next week. This is a great result to go that fast so early on in practice week.
Rob didn’t go out on Tuesday nights practice as it was very wet and as the races won’t be run in the wet there’s was not point.
PRB racing would also like to wish James McBride a speedy recovery after his crash at gorse lee on Monday nights practice.
Rob has his fingers crossed for good weather on Wednesday.
