Despite the fairly woeful conditions on the island earlier on today, it's pretty clear overhead now. Hopefully it will remain that way for the duration of today's two-lapper.

If you're new to the Classic TT or to the Lightweight class, the machinery lining up for today's race is a mix of 250cc two-strokes and 400cc four-strokes.

The 250s locked out the top-seven in qualifying, with Craig Neve the fastest 400 in eighth aboard a Kawasaki.

Other 400s include the Honda RVF400 and VFR400, and the Yamaha FZR400. 

The vast majority of the 250s are Yamahas, including five of the top-seven. The top-two, though, are Hondas.

Michael Dunlop enters today's race as the fastest rider in the Lightweight class during qualifying.

Dan Sayle has also been strong, second-fastest at the end of qualifying. Ian Lougher completed the qualifying top-three but just under the 115mph mark.

Stuart Hall, Mike Browne, and Michael Sweeney completed the top-six in qualifying.

The top-10 was rounded out by Adam McLean, Craig Neve, Chris Moore, and Rhys Hardisty.
