Guy M🐈artin will miss the inaugural Classic TT races on the Isle of Man after failing to meet the signing-on deadline for the event on Wednesday.

The road racing superstar arrived on the Isle of Man yesterday but has been excluded from competing on the Mountain Course, where the opening event of the 2013 festival take✤s place with the 500cc race tomorrow.

Martin had been due to ride for Team Molnar Manx Norton in the 500cc🐟 race.

"Theꦉre's been a lot of trouble with the prototype Manx Norton. 🍎It wouldn't run properly until tonight (Thursday)," he said.

"I arrived over this morning (Thursday) and the organisers wouldn🦄't let me practice - so there was no option other than to head back home. Bugger!"

Martin took the Ulster Grand Prix by storm last🉐 ༒weekend at Dundrod, winning three races for the Tyco Suzuki team, including both Superbike events.

His absence from the Classic TT line-up will come as a massive blow to his countless fans attend🍌ing the event this weekend.

Last night, the Manx Grand Prix practice session was red-flagged at around 7.50pm following four separate incidents on the course at Ballahutchin, Kerrowmoar, Ramsey Hairpin and the꧅ Bun🍎galow.

Scott Campbell, Ross Richards and Stuart Hall were involved in the incident at Ballahutchin on the approach to Ballagarey with Richards and 𓆏Hall airlifted to No🐼bles Hospital. Scott Campbell was reported as unhurt.

𒆙John Leigh Pemberton came off his machine at Ramsey Hairpin and was taken to Nobles while Gavin Lupton (Bungalow) and Neil Gregory (Kerrowmoar) were both reported as OK.

None of the riders involv🍸ed suffered serious injuries.

Earlier, John McGuinn🦋ess experienced more problems with Roger Winfield's 500 Paton, retiring at Quarterbridge. He also missed Wedꦺnesday's session with a suspected electrical fault.

Olie Linsdell (Paton) continues to shine in the 500cc class as he posted another ༺110mph lap, while Bruce Anstey set his best speed of the week on the McIntosh Ra𝄹cing/Mobil 1 Norton at 107.927mph.

Aussie Camﷺeron Donald also clocked🍸 his best time so far on the Ripley Land Racing Matchless at 106.040mph.

In the Formula 1 class Steve Mercer (Yamaha Classic Racing Team) achieved his fastest time this week at 117.556mph🌄, while Dean Harrison continued his good form in the Formula Classic Class, lapping at 106.758mph.

Harrison's time was the fastest in the Formula Classic class so far, with Gavin Lupto♓n (100.906mph) the only other rider to break the 100mph barrier.

Michael Dunlop has set the fastest tim💃e of the week so far, lapping at almost 123mph on Wednesday on the Team Classic Suzuki XR69.
