Conditions for the final ꦑfull prac🐈tice session of the 2009 Manx Grand Prix were forecast as dry and sunny, but very windy on the Mountain. Lack of adhesion flags would be displayed where necessary due to wet roads.

Phil♔ Taubman, Clerk of the Course requested riders to ride within their capabilities and to conce🐻ntrate on getting qualifying laps in rather than speed in this final session.

Scheduled to be first away were the Classic, Post Classic, Ultra Lightweight and Newcomers 💃B, who got🌼 away at 1822 and headed by the Ultra Lightweight machines of Dave Moffitt and Brian Purdy.

Brian Purdy was first through the Sulby Speed Trap 137.50mph, whilst back on Glencrutchery Road riders were still b🦋eing flagge꧒d away.

🐻First to complete a lap was Dave Moffitt with a lap of 100.233mph, closely followed 𝔉by Purdy who was fractionally slower at 99.867mph.

Most riders were content on comp𓆉leting one lap, although the hardy few went for a second lap, despite the overcast skies and darkening cloud cover.

As the Senior, Junior, Lightweight and Newcomers A were preparing for the off, a shower of rain caused a flurry
of activity as waiting riders and pit cꦬrew sought cover or clung together under umbrellas. The rain somewhat decimated the numbers in Pit Lane, taking the decision to return to the Paddock and forego the chance o💯f a lap.

Those that decided to pr🐎actise started from Pit Lane at 1915. Ryan Kneen was first to complete a lap on his Junior machine at 98.947mph, followed by f🐼ellow Junior competitor Noel Patterson.

In all a total of 312 machines passed t༒hrough Technicaꦜl Inspection:

Senior Classic - 35
Junior Classic - 44
Senior - 25
Junior - 79
