World Sidecar Champions Ben and Tom Birchall have been forced to pull out of T.T. 2010.
The pair blame the late delivery of their Formula Two outfit - meaning not enough time to prepare and test ahead of racing around the Mountain Course.
Ben says he's gutted to be missing the T.T., but is reassuring fans he will be back to race in the Isle of Man:-
