Final preparations are being made for T.T. 2013.
Practice starts on Saturday but the action begins on Friday evening at Billown with the Pre-T.T. Classic qualifying session.
After the disappointment of a virtual washout at the North West 200 on Saturday, all attention is now on the Isle of Man festival.
19-time T.T. winner John McGuinness knows he is the target for all the others to beat in the big bike classes:-
Risk to Island of meningitis 'very low indeed'
'A quiet man in the shadows who did so much for this Island'
"Every hero should know how to do a proper ponytail!"
