Previsti 100.000 spettatori
La pioggia condiziona le ultime prove e le prime gare della North West 200, la più importante gara su strada dell'Irlanda del Nord, in grado di richiamare qualcosa come 100.000 spettatori provenienti da ogni parte del mondo: a titolo d'esempio, il weekend monzese dedicato al Mondiale Superbike ha totalizzato 47.000 presenze.
Prove sospese per pioggia
Un vero e proprio nubifragio si è abbattuto al “Triangle” tra Portrush, Portstewart e Coleraine: le prove sono state interrotte quando toccava alle Supersport. A rischio, quindi, le gare in programma questo pomeriggio, riservate a Superstock, Supersport e SuperTwins, visto che il meteo si annuncia avverso anche nelle prossime ore.
