Milwaukee Yamaha team on way.

Great pic! Who is riding those this year? Where is Hutchy?

William Dunlop and Conner Cummins.

Hutchinson is out of action for this year http://www.crash.net/road+racing/news/184093/1/ian...

[996 sps]

Cheers mate - I'd love Connor to get a win this year. Shame about Hutchy.

A big thing has been made of this on Manx RadioTT this morning so heads-up for those that aren't aware, IOM Police have a load of Covert bikes (and cars) for TT period.

For the first time the police release video taken from their undercover bike which is equipped with the latest video cameras for use in court prosecutions.

takes a while to load after the phone advert so stick with it for a few secs.

I went last year and had an awesome time. Can't make it this time though. Is there a 'cheat sheet' guide to following coverage on the TV/internet etc? Should I be watching/following anything beyond ITV4 and the iPad app?

Cheers.

One of the bikes (not sure how many others they have) is an old VFR750, a tatty looking blue bike. Couple of videos on youtube, not me, not my videos!

He lives close by. He had a cracking first year last year. Hope he goes well & stays safe.

[blueST]

I'm pretty damn excited now. Didn't even know I was going a month ago. Only going for one day (7th) to watch the Senior. Fly out in the morning fly back same night. It's not the full experience but better than nowt.

[JEA1K]

Well I was going to the TT but due to work commitments I'm having to give it a miss. So p**sed off ... never been and might not get the chance for a while, plus flight and hotel costs down the drain.

Flight for sale ... 1st June until 4th June flying from Leeds!

[y2blade]

This time next week I'll be on Holiday and even more excited about going to the TT come on, hurry up already!
