Ryan Farquhar rounds Quarter Bridge on the BIC Paton

The opening practice session for the 2009 Manx Grand Prix took place in fair conditions on the Isle of Man on Saturday.

The opening session got underway with an untimed and controlled lap for the newcomers to this year's event.

The lightweight, junior and senior machines followed and the session concluded with the post classics, classic and newcomers.

The next practice session will be held on Monday evening.

There were three incidents reported with senior rider Tim Devlin and senior classic rider Jochen Trockel both coming off at Quarter Bridge in separate incidents and newcomer Nigel Sean Rea off at Governors Bridge.

All three of the riders were reported as being fine and were seen by the doctor as a precaution.
