Trying for a greater audience share I'm guessing, appealing to those not already converted.

They should wean her off the tranquilisers before placing her in front of a camera.

No doubt.

And good luck to them - I mean that sincerely - but they’re going to have to do better than last night’s offering if they’re going to retain what they’ve got, nevermind increase numbers.

Typical responses from the kind of berks that think a race that kills countless people, not just racers every few years is perfectly fine.

I guess I should have expected as much.

Isnt riding or racing a bike dangerous enough!

Quite frankly, I don't believe a word you say, I know you're a knob though!

Do I care what you think?

No, but you seem to care what i think.

Win win

What have people used to book diggs this year?
I have a ferry booked for race week next year (with a mate) and we could do with sorting this out ASAP

Thanks in advance, Stuart.

It was superb, but every lap has either a standing start or finish except for lap 6 when the tyres will be well past their best.

There’s some crochet going on down the WI if you run along you can catch the end.

Actually both his opening two laps were 134+. Gutted for him breaking down. We’re at barragarrow (sp) And he was making some shapes on the kwak! Outrageous!

Also worth a mention for Big Phil Crowe who a few of us will have raced against over the years. Top 10 finish and 129 mph lap! Amazing.

True plus rider knackered but theoretical could..... could be faster.

Either way an astonishing achievement. Absolutely gutted about the latter race for him though....that's racing mind.

If nice weather holds i expect adrenaline to the max and that record to go on Friday tbh.

We’ll leave you with this – Phil nearly hitting the pub just after over-jumping Ballaugh Bridge at the TT. That poor pub wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Good race, gutted for Dean after a mega opening lap what went wrong with his bike?

Reported as clutch issues.
