How do you mean?
He's entering as a newcomer, so that means he has done zero race/hot laps, no?
That is the point.They say you have to do a lot of laps before you know the course and can be up there with the top riders.He's entering as a newcomer, so that means he has done zero race/hot laps, no?
This year he was quite quick in places though while doing the parade lap.

Actually, having now thought about it, I reckon it could actually suit his style. There is something about his approach that perhaps could see him as the shock of TT2013. He’s a tenacious fecker. You only have to look at some of the moves he’s made over the last few seasons to realise that. He’s fast and committed. I just wonder if he has that pinpoint accuracy that the likes of Mcguinness has??
He’ll need to sort his fecking hair out though. The natives will think he’s a she
Aye he would have felt the birch for that hairdo not too long agoHe’ll need to sort his fecking hair out though. The natives will think he’s a she

I agree with you in the main, but didn't Plater do something special on his debut? Part of me remembers him getting podium or something similar. This year he was quite quick in places though while doing the parade lap.

I've just been reading about Steve Henshaw in Classic Racer, he went the same race as Phil Mellor.
They were killed in the 1300 production race at the time production meant exactly thatat the TT.The top riders were on GSXR1100K's or EXUP's and after 2 laps of a four lap race
the standard suspension was overheating and damping non existent.
It was an accident waiting to happen tbh
Ironically Jamie Whitham crashed, Henshaw and another rider Mike Seward crashed avoiding
the still sliding Whitham and bike.Seward suffered life changing injuries
Whitham walked away such is fate
