Mike Browne set the fastest lap of practiceཧ on Thursday afternoon at the 2ജ024 Manx Grand Prix aboard his Ducati in the Classic Superbike class.

Practice has been cancelled for the last three days due to poor weather on the Isle of Man,෴ with the Clerk of the Cour💃se forced to utilise the road closure contingencies.

As a result, tw𓂃o l♉ots of practice have been scheduled for Thursday, with more running taking place from 6:30pm local time this evening.

Browne led the way on Thursday after꧙noon, posting a 123.225mph effort on his only flying lap of the session on his Bike Specialist & Key Racing Duca♑ti 916.

He did three laps on the Classic Superbike in total and led James Hind, who fired in a 122.52mph at the end 🃏of the session on his Norton WRS588.

Johnson clocked a 122.057mph lap, while 16-time Isle of Man TT winner I🅘an Hutchinson was fourth with a 121.035mph aboard his Steadplan Kawasaki ZXR750.

Michaeಞl Rutter completed the top five in cl🌄ass, while Sunday pacesetter Rob Hodson’s Kawasaki broke down on his first lap.

Michael Dunlop didn’t appear on the timing screens and it’s unclear what his issue🍨s were. He did encounter problems on his Ducati on Sunday.

The afternoon began with the combined running for the Lightweight, Classic Junior and Classic Se♓nior machinery.
