Assen - Race Day Morning Update

It's race day at Assen for the 79th running of the Dutch TT, and the weather prospects are looking up. We arrived early with masses of bikes already heading towards the circuit, and locals sitting along the side of the main transit canals waving as the bikers passed. The skies are overcast, but it's very thin cloud and a watery sun is doing its best to break through the haze. The weather forecast is for rain, but only at the end of the day, after the races have finished and as the crowds head back home again. We should get a full day's dry racing at Assen today.
