A Spanish rider who broke down at Hillberry Corner has praised the Isle of Man after being served biscuits by the Lieutenant Governor.
Victor Ortega Pérez was riding in Wednesday (August 20) night’s Classic TT qualifying when his lightweight 400 wasn’t feeling quite right.
Pérez was then greeted by the Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer who was marshaling at the event.
Always Time For Tea
After a chat, the Lieutenant Governor then presented Pérez with a box of biscuits and a cup of coffee.
On social media, Victor said: “Sometimes it happens. Moment when I realize that something is not going well with the 400 and decide to stop, in any circuit but even more here if you have the feeling that something does not work well you have to stop put aside the times and be cautious before the unknown to the breakdown in progress.
“Plus here you know you have coffee and cookies covered! What a place.”
