Returning driver praises efforts made to get teams involved
Sidecar racer Alan Founds says this year's TT has been 'more challenging than most' as he makes his return to the Snaefell Mountain Course.
The 40-year-old missed the 2022 event due to injury and his initial passenger for 2023, Jake Lowther, was excluded earlier this week after recording a positive drugs test.
Founds has found a new passenger in Colin Smyth with whom he had his first runout on Wednesday night.
The driver, from Little Neston, explains the challenges that come with taking part in the racing fortnight:
Yellow weather warning overnight for ice
MLC calls for 'wider conversation' on how constitutional changes are made
Foodbank 'run off feet' as donations decline
Fire crews respond to 'smoke and chemical smell' in Port St Mary
