GOOD weather has been predicted for the first TT races of 2011.
Solo and sidecar competitors have managed to notch up a number of practice laps so far this week and they will be relieved to know there should be good conditions for the first race day this Saturday.
The five day weather forecast from Ronaldsway Met Office predicts it will be dry with sunny intervals and still quite warm. There may possibly be a shower overnight.
It is also looking good for the second race day on Monday. It is predicted it will be dry and bright with a risk of some rain later in the day/overnight.
