Wednesday evening's Manx Grand Prix practise session was limited to one un-timed lap, following a day of torrential rain and mist on the island.

Phil McGurk and Stephen McIlvena got the session underway after a delayed start at 1925 BST.

Ken Davies got the second session away 10 minutes later.

McIlvenna was first to receive the chequered flag as some riders took the opportunity to test out the new speed limit in the pit lane.

No incidents were reported in the session and despite the conditions 157 machines passed through technical inspection.
