Sounds like it haha I'm not sure if the plan is to rape it round or not, think it could just be a fastish lap for ****s and giggles and the audience to see him. I'm looking forward to see how he copes with the bumpy roads, big curbs, white lines, things he doesnt think about on short circuit races! I am a fan of him, he's unbelievable, but I honestly think road racing is another world

I watched a vid on youtube which was on board with Guy Martin from last years when he did the fastest average speed. I was stunned at how bumpy it looked, Rossi has the craft obviously he's a geniues at riding the way he steps teh back wheel out so comfortably speaks endlessly for his control and understanding of how the bike performs. But as you say white lines, bumps, kerbs, high bankings on the inside of turns, walls on the outside...
I'd be most interested to see what he has to say afterwards. He's got to have been out and done some sneaky runs without his signature gear on to just blend in and get a feel for it. either that or he's been getting some major playstation in lol.

+1! Great to see ITV doing something original, very classy.
Anyone see that Guy Martin segment yesterday? Very funny, that guy should be given his own TV show :)
Next show on at 21:00 tonight.
guy martin is nuts! but totally agree he could have his own show lol. The man drinks wayyyyy to much tea perhaps

Well it showed some 'highlights' of him riding a lap, not an onboard or anything no. Could have been anybody in a set of Rossi leathers though :-)

McGuniees got his 15th then, Is Martin on 18? Then Dunlop obviously on 26? Is that right?

Martin has never won a TT. Fingers crossed he gets one this week.
Edit: Full record of most wins here, not updated for yesterday's winners of McGuiness and Moly.
