Re: TT is it on telly
 

Superstock was awsome, best race so far.

Don't want to give any spoilers, so coded and mentioning no names, but I feel so sorry the man who crys he deserved so much more, road his **** off, the winner is in a different league though, future legend.

Michael dunlop just doesn't seem to have what it takes. Guy is a gumpy *******, but so would I be. Lol

Caught the 6oclock highlights last night, loved hutch's lookin up to the helicopter whilst flat out across the mountain.
Also loved how the commentators said "he'll need to sit down for a while now that'll have taken everything out of him"
Hutch hops off the bike speaking to Doyle says "Good fun that, I could go again right now".

Made me chuckle, but not as much as when Martin said "I had other things to do, so went for a cup of tea but I'm here now"

Re: TT is it on telly
 

Just don't get the impression of speed from watching races on a track. Those highlights though, on real roads, bloomin' nora! And that was only the 600s.

First one I've managed to catch on the telly. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen!

I can't work out if they are really skilled, really brave, really stoopid, or all three :smt017

Wonder what my average lap speed would be - sub 90?

Re: TT is it on telly
 

They're all three for me, the way they handle the bike. Front up front down so smoothly though every gear and corner even though the road is anything but smooth.

Watching the TT is where I get real appreachiation of the skills these guys have. Truely amazing how they dont get phased by the massive twitches and slides, my ass puckers if I cross a white line at anything greater than 10degrees of lean these guys have the bike at 60degree lean doing over tripple figures round corners crossing the white line on exit as they feed in the power and its all just "meh" to them. Bloody inspiring!

Re: TT is it on telly
 

Itv4's coverage really has been 1st rate of the most breathtaking races in the world. High motion slow mo shots are stunning. That right hander in the woods the other day with the superbikes, the fairings deforming etc over an incredibly rough bit of road!? Balls of steel.

Hope we get to see Capirex and Lorenzo. Friday I think.

Hope guy martin gets a win, at least, just to chear him up and have a bit of cash for a packet of throwaway Bics.
