‘It's good fun': Adam McLean enjoying himself after claiming top spot in Classic TT qualifying
The Northern Ireland rider jumped to the top of the leaderboard in the Historic Senior class on the Flitwick Motorcycles/SMV Royal Enfield with a 111mph lap. McLean, who led TT legend John McGuiness on Roger Winfield's Paton (108.817mph), will be one of the favourites for victory when the race takes place next Friday. He has been racing in Europe this year in the International Road Racing Championship but has made appearances at the North West 200 and Isle of Man TT. McLean said: 'There's still a few places where we're a gear too high or a gear too low, but it was good. The bike's going good as always. 'Obviously coming from the TT, you've got a bit of time to think (on a classic bike) but, nevertheless, it takes a bit of work to ride these classic bikes and you're still riding pretty hard, but I enjoyed it, it's good fun.' Banbridge man Shaun Anderson, who won the Senior Classic race from McGuinness at the 2024 Manx Grand Prix, was third fastest on Peter Beugger's Paton at 108.418mph. Wednesday was a rest day for the Manx Grand Prix riders, with the Classic TT competitors completing their opening qualifying sessions in fine conditions around the Mountain Course. England's Rob Hodson was fastest in the Formula 1 Classic TT session on the SMT by Key Racing Ducati 916 at 125.81mph, which put him 8.2s ahead of Davey Todd (Prosperity Racing Ducati 916). Hodson is a former winner in the Classic Superbike category at the Manx Grand Prix and instantly made an impression as he completed his first laps of the TT course on the Italian machine. 'It's been a strange one being here and watching the Manx Grand Prix lads having all the fun,' he said. 'The SMT by Keys Ducati Racing and Tim (Keay) has put his trust in me with one of his bikes and Robin Croft of SMT has backed us with his full support. 'We've had limited testing time on this bike with the deal coming about so late – just a few laps around Oulton Park to set the handlebars and things like that. 'Up to this point it's been more excitement than nerves and there's no pressure at all, so I can just go out there and enjoy it.' Irishman Mike Browne was at the top of the times after the first lap on the Bike Specialist by Key Racing Ducati 916 with a speed of 124.461mph before stopping on his second lap. His time was still good enough for third, with Manxman Nathan Harrison in fourth on the Greenall Racing Kawasaki 750 (123.147mph) ahead of Ian Hutchinson (Steadplan Racing Kawasaki 750), who did 122.727mph. Michael Dunlop, who is riding the Wiz Norton, did one lap before pulling in, opening with a speed of 117.705 mph which left him in 14th. Dunlop was third quickest on his 250cc Honda in the Lightweight session behind Dan Sayle and Browne on their 250cc Yamaha machines, with Sayle lapping at 115.183mph. Jamie Coward topped the Historic Junior session on the Craven Classic Racing/Ted Wood Honda 350 at 102.935mph. Dean Harrison was second quickest with a standing start lap of 101.711mph, also riding a Craven Classic Racing/Ted Wood Honda. Meanwhile, English rider Garry Broughton – who crashed on Tuesday evening during Manx GP qualifying – was said to be in a serious condition in hospital in Liverpool. The crash happened at Joey's on the Mountain, resulting in a red flag shortly before the end of qualifying.

Ferguson's red card 'harsh'
Bangor manager Lee Feeney felt Matthew Ferguson's red card in the 3-1 defeat to Crusaders was "harsh" but had no issues with Stephen McGuinness' earlier was shown red for an off the ball tangle before Ferguson followed three minutes later for a heavy finishing with nine players, Feeney was happy with how his players stuck to the task and went close to an equaliser before Crusaders striker Fraser Bryden put the issue beyond doubt in added time."I felt one was harsh and shouldn't have been a red card but the other was a red card," Feeney told BBC Sport NI."The second should never have been a red card - that is disappointing because the poor fella misses a lot of games."It was that type of game: ding dong, tense and heated. In saying that, we worked our socks off and even down to nine men we thought we had that equaliser. The boys gave everything, so I'm pleased with that and it gives us something to work on going into Saturday."The Seasiders had been strong defensively in their opening two games, but Feeney felt those standards slipped on being the league's new boys, there is no shortage of ambition and the Bangor boss said his players were "hurt" by their second defeat of the season."We just didn't defend like I know we can and if we did, we would have had a chance," Feeney added."We are only in the Premiership and get three points the first game. We're disappointed to lose 1-0 at Glentoran and really hurt today to lose to Crusaders, so that tells you where our mindset is at."I felt we did enough to get something out of the game. I don't think we were good enough in both boxes, conceded two silly goals and then weren't ruthless enough at the other end which cost you the game."
