handbags at dawn in the press conference. Hutchy kicking off with dunlop... doesnt seem like a wise move. Mcpint having a dig about dunlop not getting the 135 he said he could. both hutchy and dunlop saying they have to re-evaluate if they even come back next year.

'don't know what's up between Hutchy and MD, but WTF with JM130 mocking MD.
When you get a lesson in riding, just accept it.

it sounded more like a joke to be fair but MD doesnt seem the jokey type at the best of times let alone just after his adrenalines probably been of the richter scale. Theyll all be back next year and itl all continue as usual. Just a long time to wait now.

John and MD have had a few cringe moments in the past, I think it's exactly that. Meant as a joke but lots of adrenaline and testosterone flying about.

Didn't listen to it but have read the comments in the press, something to do with MD suggesting hutchys R6 was running an oversized engine??

Its rumoured, and I stress rumoured, that hutchys r6 had 06-08 pistons in it, with the homologated 08 onwards rods. However he wasnt thrown out the results.

Besides that, more st st news today.

Ian Bell, Legendary sidecar punter and all round good egg, has died after incident in Sidecar race 2.

He is Mr Scarborough, the place wont be the same next weekend now.

RIP Ian, thoughts with Carl and all the rest of the Bell family, and a few PH'ers who knew him very very well too.

very sad and makes the drama that comes with racing that hooks us supporters seem insignificant. Big hit to the sidecar world this week.

No loss, apart from the young man who died at Keppel Gate.

I doubt that's what you meant, but a bit harsh to comment in any way on an incident without any detail.

The father/son in the sidecar, and the incident on the mountain referred to in your post which led to the cancellation of the Subaru were separate incidents, which unfortunately both resulted in a death.

Sorry, but it was all a bit raw.
