The TV coverage of the Senior was very good.
It was good. In fact all of it is good, however having done a 5 hour session of catching up on the week in one hit yesterday, I have one bone to pick with it (not read all the thread so may have been mentioned already).
Why did they show Hutchys 11th win, before they showed his 10th win? Worse than that they told us before they showed the 10th win, that he had won by mentioning him going for his 11th win, and the fact he has won the earlier race. Spoiled the supersport coverage.

Where was Craig Doyle?
Went off to do the MotoGP. Looking forward to Y2k,s pics as he always posts loads, i missed last 2 years but deffo going to go next year on my trusty Morini 31/2 and have a few gentle laps.
Great to see what looks like a record turn out and the weather was kind.
See Bushy,s tent has gone for this year already.
In all seriousness, get over for the Classic (MGP) if you can. It's a totally different, laid back vibe with machines from all eras ridden by the same riders as the TT. It's about the bikes and history of the event than the riders themselves and arguably a more enjoyable event. Serious racing though on machines that shouldn't go that fast!
Got back early this morning from what was my 30th TT
Fantastic speeds achieved right thru the field,the depth of talent is higher
now than at any time I can remember.
Some people I know don't get the TT and it's time trial format but it really is an amazing
spectacle imho
The TT is capable giving huge highs and lows.
I have worked in the paddock in the past and everyone gets that feeling during a red flag situation.
Where is the incident ? Would your rider be in that area of the course etc? The interminable wait for
information.
Jamie Hamiltons crash brought that all home to me
I witnessed the accident,Ivan Linton running around a minute behind Jamie on the road came upon the
scene of what can only be described as a bombsite to find a friend of his laying stricken in the road.
He stopped and the look of utter desperation on the face of a man who two hours earlier had probably
the proudest moment of his life as he stood on the top step of the podium summed up the extremes the
TT can give
